Twenty Years of Unraveling: The story behind the Washington Post investigation that exposed two decades of deception and abuse at a world famous chari - Paperback

In 2020, Ted Neill reconnected with the young adults from his 2016 memoir Two Years of Wonder. That book covered his time living at an orphanage for childeren with HIV/AIDS in Nairobi, Kenya.

What he discovered was horrifying.

The young adults reported physical, emotional, and sexual abuse that had taken place in the two decades since Neill had left Rainbow Children's Home in 2004.

Together, Neill and the survivors worked to document and expose the abuse and neglect that had shattered the lives so many children.

When members of Catholic religious orders and supporters of the orphanage sought to deny and cover up the allegations, Neill and the survivors turned to the Washington Post and, eventually, U.S. federal investigators to get their stories out to the world.

Twenty Years of Unraveling is a record of those efforts, and the obstacles survivors faced while seeking justice.

About the Author: In addition to his time living in Kenya, Ted Neill has worked for CARE and World Vision International in the fields of maternal child health, education, and child protection. He has written for The Washington Post and Recovery Today and published multiple novels.
