Fred and Me: a Willowbrook Survivor's Story - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A second parent’s death jettisons an older brother from estranged, resentful sibling, to fierce, angry advocate, from somebody who periodically heard about his institutionalized brother to somebody who rescues a life. A person speaking strangely, walking oddly, looking different is not thought to have feelings, ideas, or desires. That person is “the other.” Fred and Me, a Willowbrook Survivor’s Story shows the emergence of a person whose childhood and adolescence were lived in the infamous Willowbrook State School. This memoir of two strangers reconnecting while helping each other rediscover themselves portrays the value of enormous devotion when combating the stigma of living differently. This memoir is a love story of brothers reunited.
