A riveting read about a group of men with intellectual disabilities who are victimized by their employer, a turkey processing company who views them as "boys" and keep them living in a hovel, with minimum pay and no freedom. Sporadic attempts to challenge the situation are brushed aside by authorities in Texas (home of the company) and Iowa (where the men live and work). Equal rights laws are ignored as are human rights. Those who finally "save" the men are the heroes of this book as are the men and the author. High y/a appeal.
