Wounded Hearts - Memories of the Halifax Protestant Orphans' Home

A portrayal of trauma and innocence lost at an infamous Halifax orphanage, from veteran journalist Lois Legge, which centers the strength and sorrow of the survivors. Thousands of children, between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, passed through Halifax Protestant Orphan's Home.
