โฆ Synopsis
It's 1944. A little boy and his sister find themselves the wards of strangers in a cavernous children's home. Their mother assures them that their stay will be but a few months. Nearly six years later what they thought was to be a 'stay' ends with their placement in a foster home. While this sounds like a chapter written by Charles Dickens in one of his darker moods, it isn't. Looking back after a half century, that 'little boy,' D.W. Rozelle, remembers his years at 'the Home' as the best years of his tumultuous boyhood. Over 25 drawings by distinguished artist C.A. Grooms lend Rozelle's flashbacks a startling visual impact.
