The White House Boys is a tough read, but it is hard to put down. I had no idea a place like this, even existed. I came across this book and decided to just see what it was and before I knew it, I was half way through it. You can read this book in just a few hours, but it is very informative. The men in this story are in their 60's now, but the actual White House, where the beatings took place, was just sealed in 2008. The White House was part of a correctional facility where they sent kids who basically had no parents or were sold out. They were basically throwaways. Nobody wanted them. If one died, it would have gone unnoticed. There are many unmarked graves that sit behind this house becuase many children died there. They are unmarked because they did not even know their names. This is real! This is not a made up story at all. As soon as I read the book, I did research, and I found out a great deal of information about this place. The survivors are still just trying to make it through life because of the horrific abuse they went through. If interested, google, The White House Boys and find out more about them. There are videos, news clips, and you can buys this book to read the accounts of boys who are now men who are just trying to survive day to day.
