They called us street rats. Throwaway children. Forgotten things.
But in the silence of an old stone orphanage, I found voices that echoed like mine.
In the cold, I found hands that reached back.
And in the midst of a world that never wanted us-we made a family.
Throwaway Children is the soul-stirring memoir of Lex Andersen's early childhood, who grew up behind the iron gates of a Ukrainian orphanage, where dreams were rationed, love was scarce, and the search for belonging was a quiet, desperate flame.
Yet even in despair, hope whispered.
Lex Andersen shares his powerful story of survival, loss, and unlikely comradery in one of Ukraine's most overcrowded state-run shelters. Orphaned young and left with nothing but a hollow name and a thin blanket of hope, Lex takes readers on a journey through Ukraine's unforgiving streets, institutional neglect, and the quiet moments of joy that only those who have nothing can understand. With orphans just like him who, despite everything, laughed, dreamed, and survived together.For anyone who has ever longed for family, this memoir is a reminder that sometimes, home is not where you come from, but with those who you find along the way.
