Carol cracks the door open to talk about The National Orphans Home, which first opened in 1850. It was the largest Institution of its kind in the U. S. and provided a very special home for thousands of children until its closing in 1944. It is said that it set the bar for being one of the best. Carol tells the story of her mother, only 4 at the time, and her siblings growing up in that orphanage after her grandfather died at the age of 32. He worked in a zinc mine in Tennessee and contracted black lung disease, leaving his wife a widow with 5 children. Tune in to hear how those children thrived in a time and place when they got it right.

Max cracks the door open to share about his real father abandoning his mother and his five small children. Desperate to put food on the table, his mother worked a night job as a desk clerk. His father's relatives turned her over to the authorities, accusing her of abandonment and neglect. She was sentenced to prison. It was a sad day when all five children were separated and put into foster care. Foster care was like living a bad dream for Max, but it did not even begin to compare to the life after his mother's release, when she remarried. For Max, his sisters, and his mother, their life became a nightmare of years of abuse by Heban, their stepfather and their mother's new husband.

Cracking the door open and looking inside on today's episode, we have Nancy, who shares about her & her siblings' troubled childhood while forced into foster care because her mother was sent to prison. Upon the mother's release, she remarried. What they thought they were escaping was nothing compared to the torture and abuse their mother's new husband and their stepfather inflicted on all of them.
