Orphans

[close] Hello everyone! We are thrilled to be part of the Goodreads Book Club! If you have questions about our memoir, The Kids Are All Right--whether about characters in the book, (um, that would be US), or the process of writing a memoir in four voices, or the impact it has had on our lives before, during and after publication... or whatever else, please join in the discussion!

[close] What becomes of the children that nobody wants? The ones who were rejected, abandoned, abused, and forgotten. Most often, these children disappear without a trace but, sometimes, they are found by a special group of individuals and brought to a safe-haven, known as the Underground. The Underground is home to a group known as the Unwanted, a secret group dedicating themselves to helping those in need of shelter among other things. They live their lives hiding in the Underground while also taking in orphans and runaways. The group itself consists of thieves, ex-cons, and people who have gone MIA. The Underground itself is an old abandoned theater that has three levels, two above ground while the other is underground.

[close] Adoption. It's a beautiful thing, and it shows real love for the children. But what if the children were not the nicest?

[close] Do you love the satisfying formula of an orphan book? The certain climb from loneliness to belonging, all in less than 100 pages?
