What to expect
When a drunk driver orphans ten children, their plea to stay together sparks international news—and prompts a trust fund that attracts corrupt and abusive fostering.
“They’re not dead, are they?” The officer’s body visibly slumped as he delivered his final nod.
From that July day in 1968 on, the Morris family became the Morris orphans: ten children who attracted nationwide attention, and a trust fund that didn’t bring out the best in those who fostered them. Kathi, the oldest, was only seventeen when her parents were killed by a drunk driver. This is her story—behind the headlines—of when the Morris orphans only had their mutual loss and each other.
Critics Review
“Kathi Morris tells the rest of the story of the ten Morris orphans…Her book will touch your heart and give you faith in the resiliency of the human spirit. Ultimately, it is a message…that you are stronger than you think.”
“Kathi Morris and her siblings lived a nightmare no one, regardless of their age, should have to endure. We Were the Morris Orphans is a poignant story of unspeakable loss, resilience, faith, and love.”
“Kathi Morris’s book is a must-read for anyone who cares about children and, particularly, those in our child welfare bureaucracy…Kathi offers hard-won advice and information to every person with a passion to protect kids.”
