Wild Orphan

Set in rural Missouri in the 1920s, the story deals with difficult issues that confront the gentle moral spirit of Elizabeth Eibers, who is placed in an orphanage when hard times force her mother to take a night job. There, suffering under the strict discipline of Father Gastmann, she finds solace in her growing friendship with Georgiana, a tough, "wild" orphan. And when her mother contracts tuberculosis, Elizabeth is forced to confront the truth about her missing father.Doty, Kathryn Adams is the author of 'Wild Orphan', published 2006 under ISBN 9781889020204 and ISBN 1889020206.
