"The Foundling; or, The Child of Providence" by J. Church, is a story that seems to pull right from the author's life, throwing us into the world of an orphan grappling with who he is. It starts with a deep sit-down between Investigator and Friendly, where Friendly opens up about his rocky past and all the drama that's followed him. We meet J. C., the main character, who's dealing with the pain of not knowing his parents. He's thankful for the Foundling Hospital, but he's also got big dreams and facing tough times as he tries to figure out where he belongs, with the narrative filled with challenges intertwined with acts of kindness.

Summary
About the Author
John Church was an Independent minister who was most famous for his involvement in the homosexual scandal of the Vere Street Coterie. He is claimed by some as the first openly ‘gay’ ordained Christian minister in England. Contemporary rumours about this are unproveable one way or the other, though circumstantial evidence may suggest that his "inordinate affections which led me into error" could be referring to homosexuality.
