The Lost Ones, previously published as Little Drifters, tells the harrowing true story of a travelling Irish family torn apart by institutional cruelty. Born into a close-knit community, the children are separated from the love that shaped their early years and placed into the hands of carers in a strict Irish convent.

Behind closed doors, the promise of shelter and safety quickly unravels. Instead of compassion, the children encounter betrayal, harsh treatment, and emotional devastation from those meant to protect them. This memoir traces the impact of that betrayal, revealing how it fractures family bonds and leaves lasting scars.

More than a record of suffering, The Lost Ones explores resilience, memory, and the struggle to find identity after childhood trauma. It offers a deeply personal window into the hidden world of Irish institutions in the twentieth century and the voices that were silenced for far too long.

Readers interested in true crime, survivor memoirs, social history, or the legacy of religious institutions in Ireland will find this a candid and emotionally charged narrative.
