A truly gripping tale told by the son she thought she'd lost forever, For The Love of My Mother is a story of triumphing over poverty, of hope when there seems to be none, and a tribute to a mother's love for her son. Bridie Rodgers was just two years old when she was arrested for begging on the streets of Dublin- she was to spend the next thirty years of her life locked away in institutions. The orphanage came first, then after being raped and falling pregnant she was sent to a home for unmarried mothers. After giving birth to a son, John, Bridie's child was taken away from her, and she was sent to one of Ireland's infamous Magdalene Laundries. This was only the beginning... They took her freedom. They took her innocence. They took her child. But they couldn't take her spirit.
