With exceptional artistry and storytelling, Rusty Brown tells the life story of several people at a religious Omaha school. Although deeply depressing (and a bit too graphic), I found myself being eager to continually pick it back up. I'd be hesitant to recommend it due to its dark themes, but I was incredibly impressed.
