pickSUCH a powerful book, based on a true story of a reform school in Florida that housed and abused boys from 1900 to the 70s. This novel centres on the Black youth, showing how racism throws people into such systems and forgets them, but also their creativity and resilience. The treatment and ongoing trauma also parallels what I‘ve heard and read about residential schools for Canadian First Nations children.
