About the Event
Kathleen Waites, Ph.D. will discuss her book, The Faithful Ones.
A true family story. A national scandal.
Set in a Philadelphia working-class community during World War II and spanning decades, this true family story dovetails with a national scandal concerning dubious military policies and corrupt U.S. mental asylums, shedding a much-needed light on a dark corner of American history. The Faithful Ones reminds us of the damage wrought by long-held family secrets and unchecked institutional authority. It also offers heartening testimony to the difference that can be made by a few earnest people of conscience when they take a stand for truth and against wrongdoing.
Kathleen J. Waites, Ph.D. is a Philadelphia native, former nun, scholar, author, public speaker, and emeritus professor at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
