'Why do I have to stand here and pretend that everything is alright, when the truth is I want to curl myself up into a ball and die somewhere?' Molly is a normal sixteen-year-old working as a factory girl in Derry, Northern Ireland, until one night her whole world is turned upside down. After experiencing a brutal attack, she is left mentally and physically broken, slowly withdrawing from her family and community, suffering in silence. She tries in vain to keep her increasing despair to herself, but life has more surprises and heartache in store. As her family battle to conceal a dreadful secret and expected allies shun her, Hitler steps up his invasion of Europe. With the outbreak of war an even greater strain is placed upon her family when her brother enlists in the army. Will she ever manage to make amends with him again? And with gossip rife among the community, will her secret remain hidden forever? Hush Hush will draw you into Molly's struggles and desires and leave you hoping that maybe, just maybe, there is someone out there who can help turn her life around.
