...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. After enduring many more years of rape & violence, Cynthia came forward & reported her abuse & Noleen's death. Finally, in 2007, after a fifteen-year legal fight to have her baby girl formally identified, the jury at the ' Dun Laoghaire Baby' inquest declared that the baby found dead in an alleyway thirty-four years previously was Noleen Murphy, the daughter of Cynthia Owen. Cynthia's is a horrific story of brutality & loss, but ultimately, it is an account of love, immense bravery & her fight for justice in Noleen's name.
