Title: Disturbing Title - well worth the read!
Product review: Yes, I am one of those people who picked up the book and didn't put it down until I was finished - about 2 1/2 hours later. All I can say is- W-O-W... In the time it took to read this book, I experienced the gamut of emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, shock, disbelief, horror) and spilled plenty of tears!The book also shed some light on the true "spirit" of these Catholic Church-run homes and on the NYS Foster Care system of the 1940's & 1950's. While the abuses chronicled in "They Cage..." would never be tolerated today, it is disheartening to know that such practices DID exist.Reading this book made me appreciate my own children all the mor. I also hope the current system in place (think of the starved children in an NJ foster home about a year and a half ago) is revamped positively so no one has to experience the trauma and suffering that Jennings Michael Burch did.
