Orphan: A True Story of Abandonment, Abuse, and Redemption
By the age of four, Roger Dean Kiser, Sr. had been abandoned, first by his parents and then his grandparents and placed in a Florida orphanage. Unable to adapt to the difficult, often cruel environment of the orphanage, and stigmatized by his repeated attempts to run away, he was transferred to a local reform school at age twelve. Kiser's poignant recollections of his painful childhood experiences will take you into the heart of a child abandoned by his family - and abused by the system responsible for his care. His unforgettable story demonstrates the amazing resiliency of the human spirit. He kept his faith in the future - struggling to survive until adulthood - rathern than be overwhelmed by the fear and loneliness of his orphan life.
