The Unbreakable Child: A story about forgiving the unforgivable, Paperback

The Unbreakable Child is a riveting journey inside the secretive underbelly of the St. Thomas / Saint Vincent Orphan Asylum in rural Kentucky. It is the first book in the United States to confront the institutionalized physical and emotional abuse suffered by countless orphans at the hands of Catholic clergy over these last decades. It also documents the historic United States lawsuit and first-ever settlement paid by Roman Catholic nuns in the United States as recompense for decades of brutal institutional abuse of the author, her sisters and forty-two other children.

Kim Michele Richardson resides in the rolling hills of Kentucky. She is an advocate and ear for child abuse victims, a Habitat for Humanity volunteer and a contributing writer for the Huffington Post.
