At the age of two, Frances Reilly was abandoned by her mother and
brought up in a convent where relentless mental and physical abuse drove
her to the brink of despair. Now living in Essex, she's written a book
about how her childhood innocence was destroyed. Steven Russell met her.
These are her allegations and this is her story.
"WE have a pagan in the convent!" screams Sister X - not her real name - as she sweeps into the dormitory, waving a stick. "Where is she?" She points at a small girl. "Reilly! You are a heathen, a child of the Devil! Nobody is to come anywhere near you!" Frances Reilly's knees give way and she begins to tremble from head to toe. She doesn't know what "heathen" means and she doesn't know what she's done wrong, but she knows what's coming. "Please, Sister . . ." she starts to say.
