Synopsis
The Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd was founded in Angers (France) in 1829 by Sister Marie-Euphrasie Pelletier, and approved by Pope Gregory XVI in 1835. The Good Shepherd enjoyed phenomenal success, spreading throughout France, Europe and America. By the mid-twentieth century, the community had grown to nearly 350 houses around the world. For decades, the mission of this religious institution was to take in girls in distress, those known as “lost daughters”, “mother daughters” or “bad girls”.
Like so many other women, Édith, Michèle, Éveline and Fabienne were placed in these structures when they were teenagers.
Today, buoyed by an incredible strength of life, each tells her story and reveals the shocking fate reserved for these “bad girls” until the end of the 1970s.
