Sr. Camille: The publication of your memoir, Raised by the Church
(by Edward Rohs and Judith Estrine), has resulted in numerous
interviews in print, radio and television. Why do you think this is?
Edward Rohs: First of all, my story is unique and, as everyone tells me, it's heart-wrenching. Second, very little has been written about orphanages and institutions in New York City. It's a book about the history of orphanages coupled with my personal upbringing in five Catholic orphanages. People are intrigued to learn what it's like to grow up without parents.
