Not well documented in American history, over 100,000 pregnant, unwed young women traveled mostly by train to Kansas City - known as the Adoption Hub of America - in the early- to mid-1900s. They would live in one of several maternity facilities before giving birth, signing their babies over for adoption and returning home empty handed and heartbroken. One of these facilities was The Willows Maternity Sanitarium, known as the \"Ritz\" or \"Waldorf\" of the maternity hospitals. It truly was a Mansion on a Hill and one of the largest of such facilities in America. This is the incredible, true story of The Willows and the compassionate family, yet savvy business owners, who started and operated the seclusion \"home\" from 1905 until its closing in 1969. With over 35,000 girls passing through its doorway, tales abound of Willows' children questioning the \"who\" and \"why\" as they search for answers to their separation. Changed laws and DNA testing are sparking reunions to happen more and more every day. The second part of the book \"Voices of The Willows\" includes moving stories of those whose lives were touched and changed forever by The Willows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14064317\"\u003eMargaret Heisserer\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10146760\"\u003eKellee Parr\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781728612461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1728612462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FAM\"\u003eFamily \u0026amp; Relationships\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FAM004000\"\u003eAdoption \u0026amp; Fostering\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43845341249675,"sku":"9781728612461","price":18.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_0288ef82-fd01-4e93-ba81-7b4d46e60786.jpg?v=1755879760","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/mansion-on-a-hill-the-story-of-the-willows-maternity-sanitarium-and-the-adoption-hub-of-america-9781728612461","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
