Summary:
"Between 1857 and 1970, thousands of children came to live at the Halifax Protestant Orphan' Home. Some were children whose parents simply didn't have the means to care for them any longer; others were orphans who had nowhere else to go. Many faced abuse, poverty, and neglect before, during, and after their time in the facility. All were vulnerable boys and girls, left in the trusted care of an institution that would ultimately betray many of them. Veteran journalist Lois Legge digs deep into the lived experiences of the children who passed through those doors, painting an indelible picture of innocence lost. This in-depth narrative introduces readers to the strength and sorrow of the home's survivors."--Jacket.
