The Boys in the Bunkhouse: Servitude and Salvation in the Heartland by Dan Barry

5.0

Really really really tragic story - and yet magical and uplifting and one-of-a-kind. The story is of 50+ intellectually disabled men essentially captured and kept as slaves forced to eviscerate turkeys for a turkey company for their entire adult lives. The story was shocking and enraging and unbelievable at every turn, while the character and individual paths of each men were detailed with such beauty and thought. The men are just incredible beings of tenacity, positivity, kindness, and love. Really, the story was just incredible. A book that everyone needs to read.
