Boy, Lost
2 journalers for this copy...
This is one of my favourite reads ever. I was deeply moved by this personal and heartfelt story. The story is a sad indictment of the damage men can do to wives and their children but also of the systemic failure in the 1950's where women could lose their children when deemed in their best interest. Exquisite writing makes this a must read.
On the way to a wish-list tag recipient. Enjoy as I am sure you will :)
