A very powerful book with heartbreaking scenes...The book grabbed me and I could not stop reading
Cemetary Road (Sean O'Brien #7 by author Tom Lowe grabbed my attention and then twisted my heart. The horrible cruelty to young boys who were sent to The Florida School for Boys in 1964 Florida is slowly uncovered fifty years later. Young Andy Cope was sent away because he was late for school a few times. He never returned home, as was the case for many of the boys who were murdered and buried in graves on the school property. Their families were told the boys had run away, but there was a witness when Andy Cope was shot in the back as he ran from savage men.
I won't post spoilers, but the subject matter is heartbreaking. The author tells the story from the past within the events of the present in a powerful way.
I enjoy reading the Sean O'Brien series which is set in the southern breezes of Florida with his dachshund, Max.
" The obstacles, the confusion, and even the fear...it's all there to remind you there's something better, something more just, and it's worth fighting for. The broken pieces mend, and the scars are the visual reminders it was worth it. Often it's the loss that teaches us about the worth of whats right." Tom Lowe, Cemetery Road
