From the Publisher…

This riveting memoir is the story of a 16-year-old girl and her adopted, black, 16-year-old brother in Indiana who are sent to a reform school in the Dominican Republic by their violent father and distant mother more involved with her church’s missionaries than her own children.

Well… definitely “riveting” in a surreal, “How can this be?” way. I am unsure of what to write other than to praise Julia Scheeres for getting this story “out” and to wish her and her family well.

How can this, still and now, be?
