You're Going to a Home! John J. Diaz

YOU'RE GOING TO A HOME is a shocking, yet poignant story about children who were raised in the catholic Homes for children in New York during the nineteen forties, fifties and sixties. The author and his four siblings were living under the guardianship of a catholic home when their two-year-old brother suddenly died, a death that was finally brought to a painful closure with the recent completion of this book. This powerful and revealing story vividly illustrates how the incompetent and negligent behavior of the New York childcare system contributed greatly to the tragic premature death of that beautiful two-year old boy named Joey. He describes unbelievable experiences of the rampant child abuse that was prevalent in the catholic homes of that era.
