Nancy Canfield· 2006
'Were going to take you kids, ' he pointed at each of us sitting on the couch and said our names in a sing-song voice, 'to see a school tomorrow, a boarding school, see how you like it.' With those words, the Canfield siblings began a journey that profoundly shaped their formative years. Home Kids is Nancy Canfields courageous retelling of her familys dramatic story and the inspirational story of St. Agatha Home for Children. From the immigrant orphans of the 19th century to the crack babies of the late 20th, orphanages like St. Agatha Home for Children provided physical and emotional shelter for thousands of destitute children and escorted them into the mainstream of American Society. Home Kids is the powerful and heartfelt story of St. Agatha Home as told through archival records, newspaper accounts, and compelling first-hand interviews with former residents who found nurture and hope at St. Agatha Home for Children
