As a victim of "boarding school", I purchased this book with more than a little personal expectation. The book is a shocker and hardly credible had it not been that my own experiences in boarding school (although nothing like as appalling as what Clint experienced) made me realize that this really could happen. A common thread that I shared with Clint was the inability to communicate with any outside source. We were isolated and our mail was strictly censored. The book should be a flashing red light for parents who commit their children to the care of others. My own appeal to parents is: Listen to what your children say when and if they have opportunity to communicate. Ours did not or if they did, they apparently did not believe us since they did nothing about it. The courage of the protagonists and their ability to survive is gripping. The sad reality is that many real life stories do not have happy endings. This is a powerful book, well written, thought provoking and a must for those who care about kids.
