I think I would have enjoyed this book more, had I not just read The Girls of Ennismore. I didn’t finish it as I just couldn’t get interested in the characters, and I have read enough about the homes for unwed mothers run by the nuns to know the horrific story. A woman who was sent to such a home and later became a nurse in the home secretly saved the paper bracelets put on the babies when they born and taken off when the babies were adopted. No girl was given the option of keeping her baby. This woman puts an ad in the paper and an announcement on the Internet and offers to try to help the mothers and children find each other.

Every paper bracelet held a mother's heartbreaking secret... Inspired by heartrending true events in a home for unwed mothers, set in Ireland, Boston and London, this novel is perfect for readers of Jill Childs, Emily Gunnis and Kathryn Hughes. 'Utterly moving and compelling. That first line...wow! I was hooked' Patricia Scanlan 'Fantastic storytelling looking back at Ireland's dark past' Liz Nugent 'A powerful, important, beautiful book' Sinéad Crowley 'A true storyteller who keeps you turning the pages' Cathy Kelly 'A compelling read' Sheila O'Flanagan For almost fifty years, Katie Carroll has kept a box tucked away inside her wardrobe. It dates from her time working as a nurse in a west of Ireland home for unwed mothers in the 1970s. The box contains a notebook holding the details of the babies and young women she met there. It also holds many of the babies' identity bracelets. Following the death of her husband, Katie makes a decision. The information she possesses could help reunite adopted people with their birth mothers, and she decides to post a message on an internet forum. Soon the replies are rolling in, and Katie finds herself returning many of the bracelets to their original owners. She encounters success and failure, heartbreak and joy. But is she prepared for old secrets to be uncovered in her own life? Just some of the five-star reader reviews for THE PAPER BRACELET: 'Outstanding. I was on the edge of my seat' 'It broke my heart.
