Only a generation or two ago, illegitimacy was one of the most shameful things that could happen in a family.
In the Family Way tells secrets kept for entire lifetimes: long-silent voices from the workhouse, the Magdalene Laundry or the distant mother-and-baby home. Anonymous childhoods are recalled, spent in the care of Dr Barnardo or a Child Migration scheme halfway across the world.
There are sorrowful stories in this book, but it is also about hope: about supportive families who welcomed ''love-children'' home, or those who were parted and are now reconciled. Most of all, In the Family Way is about finally telling the truth.
