Inhaltsangabe

This book offers the reader a moving story as seen from inside a mid-century orphanage. After the death of his father, the author goes with his mother, two sisters and brother to live in an orphanage. Their mother planned to live there until a conflict with the superintendent caused her to leave. Foster tells how the four siblings then devise a tight family bond of kinship. He employs a dozen broad topics to describe the orphanage, and opens the entire range of emotions he experienced while growing up.

"A morning shadow fell on the boiler's roof from the girl's dorm and slowly marched across the tin. I followed the shade, crease by crease, and counted the minutes. Although I pushed harder and harder on the accelerator of time's engine, it seemed to grind slower and slower. I craved speed through those long days of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades, but time's motor droned on at its painfully slow pace. It seemed that I would never escape from this stage of my life."
