How they were cared for by the Sisters and the difficulties their carers faced 4. The degree to which care shaped their character and later lives 5. How reliable and accurate is adult recall of childhood The book is based on five years research that has uncovered and created extensive primary sources and, especially, the recollections of the sole survivor, Michael Porter now entering his 96th year.
