It's called "The Self-Anointed," by Gladis Lenore DePree. She is the child of a man named John Vogel, who started The Galilean Children's Home in Corbin, Kentucky.
The reason I became interested in this book is because I read a case against the owner. He tried to open in Florida after Kentucky forced the home to close, and Florida wouldn't give him a license. (That was back in 1954, when Florida was slightly progressive.)
Anyway, according to the author, her father molested several teenaged girls in the home and had affairs with staff members while her mother was living in the home. The story is really good, and written well.
The most interesting part was the author's take on her father's personality. It reminds me a lot of the personalities of Lester Roloff, Michael Palmer, and the other "self-anointed" pastors. One relative said she thought the guy was "paranoid schizophrenic with feelings of grandeur." I think that exactly describes the other men. They start these places to have their own little harems. I don't mean that they intend to molest everyone there, but they want admirers. At these places, they can bully and force people into admiring them.
Anyway, if you get a chance, read the book. It's very interesting.
