Behind Closed Doors: Abuse, Survival, and Endurance at the Lourdes Home Orphanage - Paperback
Description
by Clare L. D. White (Author)
Please take good care of my baby, thinks Maggie, as she places Dorita in the arms of a nun at the Lourdes Home orphanage in Gozo, Malta. The young mother has no way of knowing that Lourdes Home will eventually become notorious, its name synonymous with orphan abuse.
Dorita is only supposed to stay at the orphanage for a matter of months but an accident and a coverup by the nuns mean that she will be held there for almost sixteen years. Yet all along, Dorita believes her mother is out there somewhere, and that someday she will be set free again.
Based on the author's own experience, Behind Closed Doors is a story of survival of body, mind, and spirit against incredible odds in the face of regular abuse at the hands of those in power. It is also a testament to the power in moments of kindness, love, and grace.
