The book covers the author's experience in helping find the truth about the Dozier School for Boys and the injustice and abuse that it has influcted on the children that used to reside there. While the book tells the story of this horrible place, it primarily interacts with the school's aftermath. I thought it was interesting how an entire small town rallied behind this school, knowing what they know. The author explained their prejudices agaunst these boys really well and the amount of influence racism and prejudice played in the enabling of this abuse. The book was also super informative when it came to the scientific processes that were involved in the exhumation. Overall, I really feel for the victims, dead and alive, and it's such a shame that places like this still exist and had existed.
