Girls Like You... tells the story of 'Margaret', the name assigned to the author while in Bessborough House Mother and Baby Home. After spending seven months in the home 'Margaret' gave birth to a baby girl in September 1973. Written with pathos and humour, Girls Like You... is a reflection on growing up in the early 1970s in the Irish Midlands. It is a story of love and loss, secrecy and abandonment, forgiveness and integration. It deals with the fallout of this period of Irish history on one individual and her immediate family while exposing the cost of an Irish solution to an Irish problem, a cost which still reverberates in society today as the truth slowly trickles out.
