What occurred in the past helps to determine our present. Secrets found in an old diary, a love unfulfilled, violence, privations of war…these are the elements of Secret Sins of the Mothers. From 1847 until late in the 20th century the story of Margaret O’Donnell unfolds and we read of the tragedy of this young, innocent girl. We also learn of the impact her life had on her descendants.
