The Boys of the Dark: Robin Gaby Fisher
This book is about the White house detention home in Marianna Florida and the quest to improve conditions or shut it down. Two men find each other without realizing they were both at the school and work with Politicians and authors to expose the school for the violence and rape that occurred there for a century. The story also goes into detail about how living at the house affected their personal relationships and their eventual families and children. The side stories made it hard to determine what the focus of the story was as there were so many characters playing a role in the story. I understand they wanted to give everyone credit for the book being possible, but about half way I lost interest as the book didn't really move forward, but outward expanding in several directions. By the end the story came back to the house and how one of the abusers, Troy Tidwell was still alive. It is disturbing that he didn't feel regret for anything he did.
