This memoir of Julia Scheere's conservative Christian upbringing in Indiana with two adopted black brothers in a racially tense era is an engrossing read. I found myself unable to tear myself away from it, even more so when Julia and her brother David get sent to the Christian reform school--Escuela Caribe--that is highly controversial and faces accusations of abuse from alumni. This memoir in a beautiful manner depicts the horror that occurs when fear, anger, and the rod are used when raising children instead of love.
