Cynthia Owen grew up in Irel&, went to the local convent school, said her prayers & took her first communion with all the other girls in her class. But behind the fa?ade of respectability lurked a hideous reality. Cynthia was just eight years old when she was sexually abused by her father amongst others. Shortly before her eleventh birthday she was made pregnant &, minutes after giving birth to the baby, Cynthia watched in horror as her own mother murdered the tiny infant, named Noleen, by repeatedly stabbing her with a knitting needle. Cynthia's mother then wrapped the baby girl in a plastic bag, dumped her in an alleyway & made her daughter go back to school & pretend nothing had ever happened.
