Derek Leinster
Derek Leinster is a Protestant survivor of abuse at Bethany Home, run by the Church of Ireland. Abandoned by his birth mother at Bethany, where illness, hunger and neglect were commonplace, fostered by an inordinately poor family and then living in poverty but ignored by the well-to-do community in which he was brought up, this is a story that will touch your heart. It is a story of shame.
