About this ebook
Baptized in Dirty Water is a story about a young boy born in 1938 who was raised in the Baptist Childrens Home in Monroe, Louisiana. At age seventy-six, he finally decided to write this book about his thirteen years of mistreatment and abuse by the house mothers (matrons) who were employed there. Some of the matrons were very sweet, kind, and understanding, but most of them were mean and cruel and, in my book, dont even come close to being loving and caring Christian house mothers.
Child abuse affects different people in different ways. What you are about to read contains some very serious events and strong accusations and, according to the author, are all true. Baptized in Dirty Water is a must read for all devout Christians and especially for those of you who have children.
