Left outside the iron gates of a Midwestern orphanage, an infant is found crawling in the snow among the dead leaves of the ivy that climbed the brick walls that surrounded the huge mansion that was now The Iowa Home for Foundlings. It was during the hardships of The Great Depression when many children were left abandoned in institutions. Most of the children left at this particular home would be eventually reclaimed. Some were left for adoption, and a few would become “keepers.” Lacking official court papers the baby girl found that cold snow covered December night wrapped in an old flannel shirt and wearing a feed sack for a diaper, was deemed to be one of their “keepers.” This is Ivy’s story.
