      abstract = {"When she became pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in  1952, Philomena Lee was sent to a convent to be looked  after as a 'fallen woman.' Then the nuns took her baby from  her and sold him, like thousands of others, to America for  adoption. Fifty years later, Philomena decided to find him.  Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Philomena's  son was trying to find her. Renamed Michael Hess, he had  become a leading lawyer in the first Bush administration,  and he struggled to hide secrets that would jeopardize his  career in the Republican Party and endanger his quest to  find his mother. A gripping exposâe told with novelistic  intrigue, Philomena pulls back the curtain on the role of  the Catholic Church in forced adoptions and on the love  between a mother and son who endured a lifelong  separation." --},
