“With this book, J. Andrews Smith, MSW, makes a unique contribution to the fields of North Carolina historiography, sociology and social work. Almost 20 years ago, Clyde F. McSwain published a detailed account of his life at the Masonic Orphanage at Oxford, North Carolina. Nearly 10 years later Richard McKenzie published a penetrating memoir of his life in the Presbyterian Orphanage at Barium Springs, North Carolina. A few other full-length recollections of orphanage life may have been written and published, but there is no other book, I think, similar to this one by Mr. Smith. His is no less than a collection of firsthand accounts of life as lived by a succession of children in the Free Will Baptist Orphanage (or Children’s Home) at Middlesex, North Carolina, over a period of nearly 90 years—from the second decade of the 20th century to the first decade of the 21st century.” George Stevenson, Archivist (1970-North Carolina State Archives 
“I’m especially proud of J. Andrews Smith for caring enough about the Home to have the vision to see the need to collect the real stories of the experiences so many have shared with us.” Gary Lee, President/CEO, Free Will Baptist Children’s Home 
“No child has ever been turned away and, as long as there are Original Free Will Baptist Churches, it will remain that way.” The Reverend Ray Wells, Pastor, Marsh Swamp OFWB Church 

“Had it not been for the Orphanage, only God knows what would have been my future.” Dr. W. Burkette Raper, President Emeritus, Mount Olive College
