Sharing a common hope to be part of a family, the 13 boys of Bundy Cottage at the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford, N.C. are drawn together by age and a shared sense of abandonment. Life for the boys in this modern ophanage is a constant struggle for the boys. The boys share a common bond of a broken home life and hope together to be part of a new family in their new environment.
