St. Patrick's Day Edition
Set in Ireland and inspired by real events, A Swift Pure Cry by Siobhan Dowd provides the haunting story of Shell, a fifteen year-old girl who grows up too soon. After her mother dies, Shell takes care of her younger siblings, deals with her father's alcoholism, and finds solace in prayer.
When a dead baby is found, Shell must decide whether to reveal her secrets or allow someone else to be under a cloud of suspicion.
