Book Synopsis The Orphan's Journey by : Camille Jeffers
Download or read book The Orphan's Journey written by Camille Jeffers and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orphanage Orphanage. The idea of this very word may give one the feeling of an almost dilapidated, musty building, crammed with a battalion of noisy, dirty, ill-behaved, ill-mannered, ill-treated, and underfed children, at the mercy of nonchalant and disenchanted or warden-like guardians, as they wait to be adopted into loving families. This orphanage that you have begun to read about is not at all like that! In fact, it was no ordinary orphanage at all. Here, newborn babies shared a nursery, while toddlers from the ages of one to four years old were kept in other quarters. Each nursery was equipped with its' own caregiver and a volunteer assistant. Children from the ages of five to seven years old were kept in groups of five per bedroom, also with their own caregivers - one to each bedroom. Children from ages eight to twelve years old were kept in groups of three per bedroom, again, with a caregiver and volunteer assistant assigned to each bedroom. Teenagers from the age of thirteen to eighteen however, were arranged for differently as their social, psychological, and physical development required a different approach. Every adolescent at the age of thirteen was given their own room, which remained theirs until they reached the age of eighteen. They were required to submit to weekly check-ins by the Dean of the orphanage, and daily check-ins by a specifically assigned caregiver. This system promoted the development of individuality and responsibility, as well as trust between all parties involved. Privacy and accountability were both given at the same time. Each child was given a sense of responsibility as they were charged with the jobs of keeping their quarters neat and clean at all times, assisting each other with tasks, and keeping their grades at a certain level. There was undoubtedly enough space, accommodation, and loving, professionally qualified caregivers for all the children present at the orphanage which at the time, amounted to one hundred and seventy children in total...

Download or read book The Orphan written by Audrey Punnett and published by Fisher King Press. This book was released on 2014-06-21 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orphan: A Journey to Wholeness addresses loneliness and the feeling of being alone in the world, two distinct characteristics that mark the life of an orphan. Regardless if we have grown up with or without parents, we are all too likely to meet such experiences in ourselves and in our daily encounters with others. With numerous case examples, Dr. Punnett describes how loneliness and the feeling of being alone tend to be repeated in later relationships and may eventually lead to states of anxiety and depression. The main purpose of this book is not to just stay within the context of the literal orphan, but also to explore its symbolic dimensions in order to provide meaning to the diverse experiences of feeling alone in the world. In accepting the orphan within, we begin to take responsibility for our own unique life journey, a privileged journey in which one can at some point in time say with pride, I am an orphan.
Download or read book Emily's Story written by Clark Kidder and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-28 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems incomprehensible that there was a time in America s not-so-distant past that nearly 200,000 children could be loaded on trains in large cities on our East Coast, sent to the rural Midwest, and presented for the picking to anyone who expressed an interest in them. That's exactly what happened between the years 1854 and 1930. The primitive social experiment became known as placing out, and had its origins in a New York City organization founded by Charles Loring Brace called the Children's Aid Society. The Society gathered up orphans, half-orphans, and abandoned children from streets and orphanages, and placed them on what are now referred to as Orphan Trains. It was Brace s belief that there was always room for one more at a farmer s table. The stories of the individual children involved in this great migration of little emigrants have nearly all been lost in the attic of American history. In this book, the author tells the true story of his paternal grandmother, the late Emily (Reese) Kidder, who, at the tender age of fourteen, became one of the aforementioned children who rode an Orphan Train. In 1906, Emily was plucked from the Elizabeth Home for Girls, operated by the Children's Aid Society, and placed on a train, along with eight other children, bound for Hopkinton, Iowa. Emily s journey, as it turned out, was only just beginning. Life had many lessons in store for her lessons that would involve overcoming adversity, of perseverance, love, and great loss. Emily's story is told through the use of primary material, oral history, interviews, and historical photographs. It is a tribute to the human spirit of an extraordinary young girl who became a woman a woman to whom the heartfelt phrase there s no place like home, had a very profound meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This young readers’ edition of Christina Baker Kline’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel Orphan Train follows a twelve-year-old foster girl who forms an unlikely bond with a ninety-one-year-old woman. Adapted and condensed for a young audience, Orphan Train Girl includes an author’s note and archival photos from the orphan train era. This book is especially perfect for mother/daughter reading groups. Molly Ayer has been in foster care since she was eight years old. Most of the time, Molly knows it’s her attitude that’s the problem, but after being shipped from one family to another, she’s had her fair share of adults treating her like an inconvenience. So when Molly’s forced to help an a wealthy elderly woman clean out her attic for community service, Molly is wary. But from the moment they meet, Molly realizes that Vivian isn’t like any of the adults she’s encountered before. Vivian asks Molly questions about her life and actually listens to the answers. Soon Molly sees they have more in common than she thought. Vivian was once an orphan, too—an Irish immigrant to New York City who was put on a so-called "orphan train" to the Midwest with hundreds of other children—and she can understand, better than anyone else, the emotional binds that have been making Molly’s life so hard. Together, they not only clear boxes of past mementos from Vivian’s attic, but forge a path of friendship, forgiveness, and new beginnings.
