In stark, haunting prose, first-time author Peter Razor recalls his early years as a ward of the State of Minnesota.
Razor\'s stark and often chilling story, devoid of self-pity, recalls with haunting clarity the years he, like the locust, patiently waited to awaken and emerge..
Beaten, poorly fed, clothed in rags, and worked like slave labor, he struggles to attend high school and begins to dream of another life.
After failed attempts to run away from the orphanage, he is indentured by the state to an abusive, reclusive farm family.
Cut off from his family and his heritage, he turns inward, forced to learn about the world on his own.
Abandoned as an infant at the State Public School in Owatonna, Minnesota, Peter Razor is raised by abusive workers who thought of him as nothing more than a dirty Injun.
Disclosing his story through flashbacks and relying on research from his own case files, Razor pieces together the shattered fragments of his boyhood into a Memoir that reads as compellingly as a novel.
