"A gripping and poignant story, made even more so because of its basis in historical fact."Horn Book(starred review)
Four Indian teenagers are kidnapped from different regions, their lives immutably changed by an institution designed to eradicate their identity. And no matter what their home, their stories are representative of every story, every stolen life. So far from home, without family to protect them, only their friendship helps them endure. This is a work of fiction. Every word is true.
John Smelcer is the author of over forty books, including essays, story collections, poetry, and novels, and five YA novels.
