The Cider House Rules
Homer Wells grows up in a Maine orphanage directed by avuncular Dr. Wilbur Larch. He is returned twice by foster parents, the first felt he was too quiet and the second beat him. Dr. Larch is addicted to ether and also secretly performs abortions. Conditions at the orphanage are spartan, but the children have love and respect, and are like an extended family. Each night before sleeping, Dr. Larch says to them, "Goodnight you Princes of Maine, you Kings of New England", as both encouragement and a kind of blessing.
