Rock Me Gently
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 and terrifying institution where physical emotional and sexual abuse was the daily norm and the childrens lives were reduced to stark survival. As the months became years and no word came from her mother she sought comfort instead from the girls around her and especially the bright angel-voiced Frances who seemed miraculously untouched by the nuns persecution and 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 and befriended an elderly Holocaust survivor. It was a friendship that began with an instinctive recognition of the fear and suffering each had experienced and one that would begin an emotional journey culminating in Judiths return to the Nazareth House orphanage to confront her memories and to achieve some measure of peace. Rock Me Gently" is an astonishing moving and deeply shocking memoir and a story that resonates in the mind long after the final page."
