Delcina's Tears

By Georgina Williams

Book Overview

CHILDREN HAVE NO HEARTS This is one of the darkest pages in the histories of Canada and the Roman Catholic Church. Welcome to St. Michael's Laundry, a world of systemic physical and mental abuse, torture, sexual abuse by priests and nuns, where children work shoulder-to-shoulder with criminals and the criminally insane in deplorable conditions behind locked doors. But it is also a story of innocence and undying human spirit. -Ross Kentner Delcina's Tears is a remarkable story by a remarkable woman. Georgina Williams tells it as it was without any trace of self-pity despite her many years of suffering. Her courage is a testament to how the human spirit can survive desolation, hopelessness, and humiliation. -Robert F. Gray, Canada Council for the Arts

WOW!

My dad gave me this autographed book and actually spoke to her and she told him a bit about her story. I finally got to read it and wow! I couldn't wait to get to book two that he also had for me. Finished it today and am looking forward to reading book three. I can so relate to some of what she went through as I am a survivor as well. Of course I didn't nearly live through what she did but just the same some of the characteristic's are the same and it makes it easy to relate to and understand. I would so love to be lucky enough to meet you in person but my parents are now retired from going to AZ. in the winter time as my mom has gotten sick with Alzheimer's. Sadly, she will never be able to read your books. Thank you for getting that story out and dad and I agree, it would make one heck of a great movie!!!!
