Reviews

God Knows His Name: The True Story of John Doe No. 24 allows the reader to feel how institutional life was experienced by an individual who spent the better part of his life (from adolescence on) in the Illinois state institutional system. In many ways the book provides a balanced view of institutional caregivers; some are compassionate and others less so. The real indictment in the book is of the governmental system itself and the neglect of the thousands of institutionalized persons by the legislature and the public. --Thomas Walz, author of The Unlikely Celebrity: Bill Sackter's Triumph over Disability
