Bobby: Please Come Inside - Robert L. Sandel

In 1938 at the age of four, Bobby and his brother were taken to an orphanage called the Good Shepherd Home. At the time, he had two parents who both took him to the Home to live for ten years. After, he moved to live with his aunt and uncle. Writing about his life story has helped him understand immensely the dynamics of how family functions.
