MORE DRAMA THAN A WORK OF FICTION! When Betty Ann Williams began to collate material for her family biography she discovered the tragic back story of her mother's life. Ethel May was rejected by her mother at birth and given away to a childless deaf and dumb couple. She had a happy childhood which came to an abrupt end at the age of five when the authorities discovered she had been illegally adopted and brutally placed her into a school for the displaced children of prisoners. She was confined within that harsh regime for over nine years, only to be released at the age of fourteen on licence to her birth mother, who once again rejected her. However, Ethel May was set upon making the most of her new found freedom. She trained as a nurse, witnessed first hand the catastrophic results of many Welsh mine disasters and tended to the horrific wounds of the victims. Later, she moved back to Oxford, the city of her birth, where she met and married the man of her dreams, only to be left to survive with three young children when he deserted them. When Betty read that account in her mother's diary, it struck home, for she well remembered the dreadful day when she and her siblings were taken into institutional care. Ethel May's life story had turned full circle. This is the true story of an honourable woman's fight for the lives of her children.
