Produktbeschreibung
On the industrial waterfront of Baltimore City, runaway kids from terrible forester homes found their safety together. An old abandon tobacco warehouse became their living quarters as the numbers of orphans grew to thirty-five. The children's ages ranged from six to fifteen but their stories were all the same. Their way of life was begging, stealing and running from the police. Anne and Dougal Fraser had a tavern on the waterfront and knew these kids needed help before they ended up dead. Initially, the Frasers took two street kids into their home and before they knew it, the number was five. The homeless children brought luck to the Frasers in a young girl named Rita Thomas. Rita had been raped in the forester home she lived in but she had a God given beautiful voice that her parents were developing before they were killed. The Frasers featured her singing at the tavern and people came from all over the city to hear her sing.
