The Stealing of Innocence

Tiffin Green-Hall's courageous book grabs the reader by the throat and the heart, from page one until the end. The author conveys the horrific pain and brutality of the life he lived under the ostensible care of Catholic priests while he spent five years at a Catholic school in Auckland, New Zealand. His writing is frank, vulnerable, and beautiful, if such a term can be used in association with the ugliness he experienced. This is a book that everyone needs to read.
