About this product
Product Information
The shocking secret history of twentieth-century orphanages--which for decades hid violence, abuse, and deaths within their walls For much of the twentieth century, a series of terrible events--abuse, both physical and psychological, and even deaths--took places inside orphanages. The survivors have been trying to tell their astonishing stories for a long time, but disbelief, secrecy, and trauma have kept them from breaking through. For ten years, Christine Kenneally has been on a quest to uncover the harrowing truth. Centering her story on St. Joseph's, a Catholic orphanage in Vermont, Kenneally has written a stunning account of a series of crimes and abuses. But her work is not confined to one place. Following clues that take her into the darkened corners of several institutions across the globe, she finds a trail of terrifying stories and a courageous group of survivors who are seeking justice. Ghosts of the Orphanage is an incredible true crime story and a reckoning with a past that has stayed buried for too long, with tragic consequences.

Reviews
"Kenneally... paints a beyond disturbing picture of human cruelty in this shocking exposé of decades of abuse of children housed in orphanages across multiple countries in much of the 20th century...This harrowing true crime story is essential, if deeply difficult, reading." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review, "Sometimes the world's secrets have to wait for the right person to turn up to reveal them. Across ten years of hard and painful investigation, Christine Kenneally discovered, explored, and here reports on a great sink of human misery visited upon unprotected children by the very people who were honored for caring for them. It's a chilling book, but a brave and important one--and a gripping read. It bears comparison to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago ."-- Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb and A Hole in the World, "It is a measure of [Kenneally's] nous as a journalist, as well as her patience and persistence, that she uncovered as much information and testimony as she has in what by all accounts is an extraordinarily difficult area to investigate." -- Sydney Morning Herald, "A gripping chronicle of the ways in which those in power ignored, or even encouraged, the ill-treatment of children across borders, cultures, and decades." -- The New Yorker

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
