Vermonters familiar with the story of St. Joseph’s Orphanage get a global perspective on the issue when journalist Christine Kenneally launches her new book, Ghosts of the Orphanage: A Story of Mysterious Deaths, a Conspiracy of Silence and a Search for Justice. Kenneally, who wrote a viral BuzzFeed piece on St. Joseph’s in 2018, takes a deep dive not only into the lives of the survivors of the infamous Burlington institution but also into the abuses suffered by children in similar orphanages across the country and around the world throughout the 20th century.
