520    "A shocking expose of the dark, secret history of Catholic
       orphanages--the violence, abuse, and even murder that took
       place within their walls-- and a call to hold the powerful
       to account. More than 5 million Americans passed through 
       orphanages in the 20th century alone. At its peak in the 
       1930s, the American orphanage system included more than 1,
       600 institutions, partly supported with public funding but
       usually run by religious orders, including the Catholic 
       Church. Ghosts of the Orphanage is the result of seven 
       years of investigation, and what Christine Keneally found 
       was shocking, yet hiding in plain sight. Terrible things, 
       abuse, both physical and psychological, and even deaths 
       have happened in orphanages for many years. The survivors 
       have been telling their stories for a long time, but no 
       one has been listening. People are too often unwilling to 
       accept their stories. And their options for recourse have 
       been limited by the years it has taken many survivors to 
       process their trauma, tell their stories, and pursue legal
       action. Centering her story on St. Joseph's, a Catholic 
       orphanage in Vermont, Keneally investigates and shares the
       stories of survivors. She has fought to expose the truth 
       and hold the powerful -- many of them Catholic priests and
       nuns -- to account. And it is working. As these stories 
       have come to light, the laws in Vermont have been forced 
       to change, including the statute of limitations on 
       prosecuting them. Told with human compassion, novelistic 
       detail, and a powerful sense of purpose, Ghosts of the 
       Orphanage is not only a gripping story but a reckoning. It
       is proof that real evil lurks at the edges of our society,
       and that, if we have the courage, we can bring it into the
       light and defeat it."--|cProvided by publisher.
