Аннотация:

In the early 1950s, Rod Braybon's father died, leaving his mother with eight children she couldn't care for.<br /> <br />As a ward of the state, Rod ended up at the notorious Bayswater Boys' Home, run by the Salvation Army, near Melbourne.<br /> <br />Rod endured years of ill-treatment at the hands of the Salvation Army, then spent a life-time repressing the memories that haunted him.<br /> <br />Finally, after seeing an article in a newspaper, Rod decided to speak out.<br /> <br />His story created a nation-wide sensation and won a prestigious award for the journalist who broke it.<br /> <br />That Rod was willing to speak out to try and ease the suffering of others like him, is incredible.<br /> <br />That he survived at all, is nothing short of a miracle.<br /> <br />This short story is expanded in Vikki's full-length book Salvation.<br /> <br />Welcome to Crime Shots – short, sharp, true crime stories from Australia's past and present.
