Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been writing, “I heard NOTHING about this in school” waaaay to often.

This was an incredible story. It reads like a novel which is quite the feat considering the detail. The author writes in a way that grabs your heart.

I gave it 4⭐️s instead of 5 because, like His Boys in the Boat, there were several areas where I wanted it to move on—enough detail already.

Don‘t miss this one! #forgottenhistory #historymatters

Woah. This story is dark, morbid, and absolutely infuriating. It is a must-read! I had no idea about this piece of history until my high school students performed the one act play, These Shining Lives (and took it all the way to state!), so when I saw this book I knew I had to read it! The writing itself drove me a little crazy, but overall it is well researched and an important, dark topic that is finally brought to light. #ForgottenHistory
