My childhood abuse in the orphanage, is New Zealands shameful, dirty secret of physical, mental and sexual abuse of innocent children by nuns, lay staff, the older girls and the priest and bullying at two orphanages in Christchurch New Zealand. From the age of five to ten old I was made to work on their farm and laundry at Mount Magdala St. Joseph Girls Orphanage then from ten to nineteen years old I worked in the Nazareth house kitchen and laundry.

I was conceived out of wedlock, because of my mother being raped at fifteen years old. I was just two and a half months old when I was snatched from my mothers arms, by the catholic church then placed in the care of one of their Catholic orphanage. From the beginning, I was taught that my mother was sinful and that I would be too unless the devil was beaten from my soul. I was sexually abused in the nursery from a tiny young girl of eighteen months old by three lady workers for four years.

At night times three nuns would ritual attack me by taking my clothes off, tying me to both ends of the bed and savagely attacking me with the buckle of her belt, hula hoop cut in half and a large whip as they tried to suppress my will and to break my spirit.

They Promised Heaven But Led Me To Hell is also about my fight with the catholic church to accept responsibility for the past institutionalized abuse of children and young people while in their care and to admit unconditionally that there was wrong doing by the two orders of nuns and the priest. It is a story which needs to be heard and to read, I have told of the horrific upbringing in two catholic orphanages.

Whilst unbelievable that such acts of cruelty happened in New Zealand by nuns, They Promised Heaven, But Led me to Hell... also portrays my great strength of spirit and determination. I am a mother of four, a grandmother and a great grandmother and I have lived in Whangarei for the past fifty-two years, 1966 to 2018 with my husband Brian.

My story is one story of many worldwide...

Dedication
I dedicate this book to:
The children who did not survive the abuse from their carers, all survivors/victims worldwide, whether they be in an orphanage, childrens homes, state homes; or family abuse environment;
My mother, even though I never knew her;
Mother Francis of Rome to whom I owe my life to many times, as a child she was there to pick me up whenever I needed her. She was my will to live and my strength to carry on into the next day. Her arms were always open for me to run to and the warmth of her love towards us children remains with me still. I shall never forget her welcoming smile each time we saw her. God Bless you Mother, you are in the arms of the Angels, you told me about many times, You are much loved!
Sister Peter who was so gentle to me and believed in me, she was the first person ever to have faith in me and let me do art work in her classroom while she taught the boys, she gave me poetry books to read as well. She would ask me to do things and never once questioned me nor never doubted me in what I told her.
My husband Brian who has never left my side and to whom I am so grateful, a man who could fix everything he put in his hands, I called him the fix it man; My son Robbie, who passed away in 1993 a gentle giant and a friend;
My three daughters Joanne, Rachel and Bridget beautiful young ladies now;
Ron Hackett; who helped me tirelessly each day, who supported me and many other victim / survivors throughout New Zealand for many years;
Reverend Father Thomas Doyle JcD, cADc. who took a stand in the 1980s against the catholic church to give support to the many men and women who were abused in the catholic church institutions, orphanages and in their family homes worldwide, by catholic priest, nuns and their workers;
To all the Catholic Whistle-Blowers, nuns and priest, a catholic group dedicated in supporting the victims/survivors the world over, within the catholic church. I thank you all for the truth;
My fellow survivor Andy - Rudolf Andreas Bialek from England who supported me and pushed me from afar to rewrite my story;

This book is non-fiction. The story and writings are all true and have been told, as I have remembered them. Names and identifying characteristics of certain persons have been changed in order to protect their identity. But the nuns and priests I will name, because it was the nuns who abused me and I shall never forget their names, they are chiselled into my brain, like the abuse which they did to me. Some of the photographs were given to me and all other attendees by the organisers of a Nazareth House reunion in 1986 other photographs were given to us after the mediation of the Good Shepherd order in 2001 and the Nazareth House order in 2003. Most photographs belong to me, which I have taken myself.
