Publisher's Synopsis
"I was an orphan then, I am an orphan now, and I will always be an orphan." For years, people have told Shelby Adams Lloyd that she should write about her life growing up in the Oxford Orphanage in Oxford, North Carolina-how she lived and worked while learning a trade there. Shelby finally sat down at the computer and started her story of living in the orphanage. She took a deep breath as she remembered what she went through and how she overcame the rejections she has felt since childhood. Always an Orphan is a loving memoir of a unique childhood where family, to this day, is the orphans Shelby grew up with, and home is the orphanage she looks back on with pride and love.
