When her mother is unable to care for her and her six siblings, the family is uprooted from a family farm and relocated to Mooseheart, an orphanage in Illinois. Upon arrival to Mooseheart, the siblings are separated from one another and scattered to halls throughout the grounds of the orphanage where they at the mercy of strict matrons.

Book excerpt: Author's NoteWhen I was young, I thought my father was the true author ofOliver Twist. Just as little Oliver was abused in an orphanage, so was my father similarly mistreated in such a place. "The food was terrible," he told me, "and sometimes it had green stuff floating in it. Once we did have something decent, so I asked for more. Boy did I catch hell."As I grew older, I realized that Charles Dickens wrote Oliver Twist before my father, Wesley Tooper, was born. He never read the book, nor did he know it existed, but both he and Dickens knew what they were talking about.Dark Brown is the River was inspired by my father's story. I have presented it as he, and others-my mother, Aunt Lilly, her daughters Wanda and Jackie, Uncle Cleve (who got my father out of "more jams than you could cover bread with"), and old Kate Tooper-told it to me in bits and pieces as I was growing up. What dialogue and events I created, I have done so with the knowledge of the characters in mind-how they would speak, act, and react under certain situations.My other sources are letters I found in my mother's closet long after my father's death. Some were written in the caboose of an Illinois Central steam train, others on a troop ship sailing "across the pond," others in the trenches of World War I and a French hospital for victims of mustard gas. I discovered other letters written in many locations and under different and sometimes dire circumstances. Those I have included in my book are exactly as they were written.-Dorothy Tooper Lund
