Mad Ann tells the story of a woman taken from her family as a baby and placed in an industrial school in rural Ireland. Though she was not an unmarried mother, she was raised among them, subjected to harsh discipline, humiliation, and silence. Nicknamed “Mad Ann” for her refusal to conform, she recalls moments of punishment, rebellion, and the day she finally ran free. Now, she reflects on what was taken, what survived, and the life that followed.
