In the 1950s shortly after her fathers death Judith Kelly was left in the care of nuns at a Catholic orphanage while her mother searched for a place for them to live. She was eight years old. Far from being cared for Judith found herself in a savage & terrifying institution where physical emotional & sexual abuse was the daily norm & the childrens lives were reduced to stark survival. As the months became years & no word came from her mother she sought comfort instead from the girls around her & especially the bright angel-voiced Frances who seemed miraculously untouched by the nuns persecution & the abject misery surrounding her. When a tragic accident robbed Judith of her dearest friend the traumatic memories of the event were to trouble her deeply long into her adult life. Years later at a kibbutz in Israel Judith met & befriended an elderly Holocaust survivor. It was a friendship that began with an instinctive recognition of the fear & suffering each had experienced & one that would begin an emotional journey culminating in Judiths return to the Nazareth House orphanage to confront her memories & to achieve some measure of peace. Rock Me Gently" is an astonishing moving & deeply shocking memoir & a story that resonates in the mind long after the final page." ...
