Not many can say they are living their third life — but for Colleen Anderson, moving back to Ireland was a chance to heal from an abusive adoption.

Colleen's first life began when she born on August 4, 1965 in Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Co Tipperary, to her then 14-year-old mother, who became pregnant as a result of being raped.
