Mother ordered to relive her worst nightmare

IMAGINE, if you can, that first your husband and then your son have been murdered by burning and you are told you are next on the list. You feel you must leave the country and go to a safer place — a place where you believe and hope you can find sanctuary.

You find such a country and happiness follows. Soon you become involved in the community and your children are welcomed and loved in their school by teachers and pupils alike.

You join the local branch of Amnesty, education and women's groups and courses run by Integrating Ireland.
