Recenzii

"Sheehan eloquently and unflinchingly describes the structured waste of human potential that systematically deprives our society of honor and harmony. No reader with a conscience, no reader with a heart, will come away from this complicated, infuriating and unforgettable book untouched or unmotivated to instill long-overdue change."--Michael Dorris, author of The Broken Chord
