Scarlet’s Journey

It was 1956 when four-year-old Scarlet and her two siblings, Andrew and Billie, were dropped off at an orphanage by their mother without any explanation. None of the three children had any clue what was coming in the next moments or years of their young lives. All they knew was that they were terrified, sad, and confused.

In a captivating story of survival and strength, Scarlet weaves a vivid tapestry that poignantly reveals the complexities of family, the struggles of institutional care, and the triumph of spirit through determination. While chronicling an unforgettable journey of hardship, loss, struggles, and achievements after she and her siblings were torn apart and placed in separate homes on the orphanage campus, Scarlet provides an intimate glimpse into the transformative power of perseverance as she dealt with being separated from her father and grandparents, watched her sister graduate from high school and leave the orphanage, matured into a teenager, and made an impactful decision at age thirteen that would change everything once again.

Scarlet’s Journey is a true story of love, loss, self-discovery, and hope in moving forward after a little girl and her siblings were abandoned by their mother at the door of an orphanage in 1956.
