The Convent is the shocking true story of Marie Hargreaves, the girl who survived an evil nun’s care home from hell.

When a fancy car pulls up outside six-year-old Marie's home in 1959, her dad tells her she is going on holiday. But little does she know she will not see her home again for four long years. Her family cannot afford to keep her at home. Marie tells the story of how she was taken away from a poor, but happy and loving home life, to live in a convent - away from everyone and everything she holds dear. Her hair is bluntly chopped, her clothes are taken away, and her name is changed. Then a horrific ritual of physical, sexual and mental abuse begins. Even after the convent closes, Marie is unable to share details of her suffering with anyone. But when a police investigation is launched, Marie realises that the time has come to tell the truth...

A heart wrenching, heartbreaking story about religious abuse.
I don’t know how she was able to forgive after all the abuse she went through.
I’m so thankful for my childhood.

An excellent book

This story was profoundly sad, mostly because it is true, but also because of the power evil has over innocence. Having said this, it also makes me proud of the strength of women and the power of love, compassion, kindness and forgiveness we can possess through adversity. Excellent read.

My heart still hurts for the abused children.

Mind boggling
