Ed Orzechowski has authored memoirs of two individuals who grew up at the former Belchertown State School in Massachusetts. In the 1960s, the institution became infamous for abuse and neglect of its residents.

Becoming Darlene—The Story of Belchertown Patient #4952, was published in November of 2024. Orzechowski’s previous work, You’ll Like It Here—The Story of Donald Vitkus, Belchertown Patient #3394, has been a #1 Best Seller for Levellers Press.
