SynopsisThe Unbreakable Child is a riveting journey inside the secretive underbelly of the St. Thomas / Saint Vincent Orphan Asylum in rural Kentucky. It is the first book in the United States to confront the institutionalized physical and emotional abuse suffered by countless orphans at the hands of Catholic clergy over these last decades. It also documents the historic United States lawsuit and first-ever settlement paid by Roman Catholic nuns in the United States as recompense for decades of brutal institutional abuse of the author, her sisters and forty-two other children.
Horrendous experiences well told to help the reader obtain a clear view of terrible coverups and ruined pasts for so many. What bravery and freedom by the author!! She is a rare soul who can come out of such an evil and vile early life and still not be jaded against the wonderful things in life she now has and enjoys.
