Publisher's Synopsis
It's 1967, and Lisa Tookson is fourteen years old. Her last day at her final foster home is a nightmare she won't soon forget...but now she finds herself at the gates of LoRaca, and a new nightmare may just be beginning. LoRaca's name is whispered throughout the Pacific Northwest. It is an institution, a prison, a 'home' for unwanted and unstable children who have been cast aside by a society and a system that just wants them gone. Here is where Lisa must now call home. Here is where she meets a girl whose nightmare may be even worse than her own. And here is where they both find out that demons and boogeymen will sit right out in the open, behind desks, wearing false smiles. Welcome to the pit of Oregon's forgotten children. Welcome to LoRaca.
