Does the pull of Ireland ever leave those Irish Australians who have left its shores? Does that yearning seek to out news or stories from home, ever diminish?

A Magdalene Rose has waited over 94 years to tell her story; join her and three other remarkable Irish people on their journey from invisibility to home.

On that journey, you can discover whether she or the other Irish lives lived, will reveal their secrets and promises, when they are part of Ireland’s Scaradh Magdalene?

This is the remarkable true story flowing from the birth of a child, his marriage, and a wife who became the guardian of his secrets. We discover a mother, incarcerated without due process for 42 years, and a father who suffered loss and isolation. Love is forbidden.

A promise to find truth and justice reveals that incarceration, dogma, and indifference towards a vulnerable life, leads to the stunning realisation that a mother’s death is cheap, untruthful, and disrespectful.

The stories of four lives delivers love, betrayal, joy, tears, and discovery of what it is to be human, to be Irish. It is a story of Ireland and of a Magdalene Rose and many women like her. It is the ultimate journey home.
