In the spring of 1835, at the pier of Buffalo's Canal District, the most dangerous square mile in developing America, 17 year old Ciara Sloane steps onto land, alone, save for her younger sisters, orphaned at sea on the voyage from Ireland. Turned away by her only family on this side of the Atlantic, Ciara is admitted to the almshouse, along with her younger sisters, as the nursemaid, charged with bringing order to the chaos that is the children's ward. With the help of the Christian Ladies Charitable Society, led by the formidable Mrs. Farrell, and the compassionate and charming Dr. Michael Nolan, Ciara is able to transform the children's ward from a place of loneliness and despair to one of optimism and hope. Orphans and Inmates is the first novel in a trilogy about the Sloane sisters and their experiences at the Erie County Almshouse and the Buffalo Orphan Asylum. The story explores the largely ignored origins of the social welfare system through the experiences of those who were most profoundly affected by poverty, namely women and children. It depicts the ruthlessness, depravity, compassion and hope experienced by those forced to seek institutional relief.

A ghostly message from 1835 and dreams of the Sloane sisters of Buffalo, New York in 1880 send modern day novelist Maude Travers across the wild Atlantic to a small island off the west coast of Ireland for answers. What do the Spiritualists of Lily Dale, New York, a child accused of witchcraft and the ancient Celtic legends of the Fairy Folk have to do with the mysteries hidden there? As Maude hones her ability to connect with the past, she sees that a chance encounter with a girlhood rival awakens long forgotten secrets. Old superstitions begin to take root and place the Sloane family in danger. How will the resolution of this latest supernatural quest impact a relationship in trouble in the present, another just beginning in the past and a third that was never meant to be?

"Past life regression isn't for everyone," Charlotte Lambert had advised. The psychic medium and friend to Maude Travers also warned, "you may not like what you find." Maude's scientific roots as a researcher did not prevent her from eventually accepting the idea that she had been a nineteenth century physician in a past life. The notion had first presented itself to her in vivid dreams and waking visions of Buffalo, New York, more than a century ago. A search of the historical records verified the existence of the physician and her work in the burgeoning city's insane asylum. What did it all mean, and more importantly, how would it help Maude to understand the threats to her current business? "You tend to be surrounded by the same cast of characters in each life," Charlotte told her. "Negative karma will follow you until you do something to break the cycle." Had an adversary from another lifetime come to even the score in this one? Would Maude be able to unravel her past life in time to secure her own future?

This is the best book about Children's Gulag. It is Russian original of the book with the same title in English. It contains three narratives. The first one, “Orphans of Communism”, is a historical overview of the orphan's GULAG. Described are the barbaric laws, the scales of the catastrophe, the Russian criminal environment as a bearer of a special folklore—the song and musical culture of the prisons and concentration camps. English translations some of these songs are provided.The second one is an adventure story “I Am Your Prisoner for Life”. It is based on recollections from author's experience surviving at the Center for the Intake and Evaluation of Displaced Juveniles (DPR), situated in city Luga during 1946–1948, after his parents were thrown into prison. The pictures of everyday reality go on: the stealing of food and clothes from starving children, humiliations, scuffles, bullying, assaults and batteries, sex and rape, which could be shocking even for those accustomed to Hollywood productions. The boy overcomes his terror, betrays, and denounces the ringleaders. According to the thief's canons, a traitor must die, and the boy is punished by stabbing. He survives, escapes from the DPR, and finds his way to his mother's prison camp.This book, with a fascinating plot and amazing, unconventional musical arts, was narrated in a way that nobody before had. The indissoluble alloy of orphan's GULAG structure, its folklore, melodies, and songs appears as a genuine richness and thrilling material for film creators.This narrative is not only an almost forgotten page of the waifs' and strays' lives in Stalin's time, but also a document of accusation.The third narrative is memoirs, presented in the form of miniature stories, of a very old woman, a refugee from Russia, who survived the Blockade of Leningrad, Stalin's prisons, exile to Siberia, and the ordeals of her children and close relatives. Some photos and documents are included in this history.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.Children in Prison and Other Cruelties of Prison Life, was published by the novelist and poet Oscar Wilde as an attempt to discover what he considered the scandal of child prisoners incarcerated in British prisons. The pamphlet, first published in the form of a letter to the editor of the Daily Chronicle in 1897, was written after Wilde was released from Reading prison: he had served a sentence for sexual offenses. During his time as a prisoner, Wilde had observed many young men locked up with adult criminals,

What image does the word orphanage conjure up in your mind? A sunny scene of carefree children at play in the grounds of a large ivy-clad house? Or a forbidding grey edifice whose cowering inmates were ruled over with a rod of iron by a stern, starched matron? In Children's Homes, Peter Higginbotham explores the history of the institutions in Britain that were used as a substitute for childrens natural homes. From the Tudor times to the present day, this fascinating book answers questions such as: Who founded and ran all these institutions? Who paid for them? Where have they all gone? And what was life like for their inmates? Illustrated throughout, Children's Homes provides an essential, previously overlooked, account of the history of these British institutions.

Excerpt from Children in Prison and Other Cruelties of Prison Life The present treatment of children is terrible, primarily from people not understanding the peculiar psychology of a child's nature. A child can understand a punishment in icted by an individual, such as a parent or guardian, and bear it with a certain amount of acquiescence. What it cannot understand is a punish ment in icted by Society. It cannot realise what Society is. With grown people it is, of course, the reverse. Those of us who are either in prison or have been sent there, can understand, and do understand, what that collective force called Society means, and whatever we may think of its methods or claims, we can force ourselves to accept it. Punishment in icted on us by an individual, on the other hand, is a thing that no grown person endures or is expected to endure.
