Book Reviews of They Cage The Animals At Night (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

Book Review: Harrowing but believable
Summary: 4 Stars

Another story lesser known is Ken Grant, a man who has been driven into homelessness and joblessness perhaps by the government itself where he worked at a defense contractor and had a story published about his search for his father.After the story appeared in the newspaper he became chronically unemployable, was denied a decent job with decent health insurance for over 10 years.Grant found state and state subcontractor records santized and perhaps his own book manuscript viewed as a political weapon. Grant wrote an autobiography detailing his own experiences both positive and negative and with a spiritual, not a political, bent. Grant discusses among other things how God led him through his own tribulations as a handicapped,abandoned and abused and neglected youngster in New England.

Grant has never been able to get decent work since his own story came out and it has been a question whether political forces have been at work to "teach him a lesson" for 'daring' to offer objective commentary on life in state child care. Grant wrote of triumphs in finding private individuals who cared and his work is a testimony to their caring as much as his own narrative.

Grant and Burch have much in common.Grant wrote his book first but Burch succeeded in getting it published where Grant has been the ongoing target of harassment and such.
