Roger Dean Kiser is a noted author who is also known as the American Orphan. He has chronicled his early life to aid in the prevention of child neglect and abuse and has made his stories available in the public domain without fee, to anyone who wishes to publish them.
By the age of four, Roger Dean Kiser had been abandoned, first by his parents and then his grandparents and placed in a Jacksonville, Florida orphanage. Unable to adapt to what he describes as the difficult, often cruel and abusive environment of the Children's Home Society and stigmatized by his repeated attempts to run away, he was transferred to a Florida reform school at age twelve.
Roger's poignant recollections of his painful childhood experiences will take you into the heart of a child abandoned by his family and abused by the system responsible for his care.
Now an adult, Roger Dean Kiser writes about his childhood along with his current day tales. A real-life Tom Sawyer, Roger's stories find a common ground for many.
