Chartwell Manor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781683966890)

No one asks for the childhood they get, and no child ever deserves to go to Chartwell Manor. For Glenn Head, his two years spent at the now-defunct Mendham, NJ, boarding school -- run by a serial sexual and emotional abuser of young boys in the early 1970s -- left emotional scars in ways that he continues to process. This graphic memoir -- a book almost 50 years in the making -- tells the story of that experience and then delves with even greater detail into that experience's reverberations in adulthood, including addiction and other self-destructive behavior. Head tells his story with unsparing honesty, depicting himself as a deeply flawed human struggling to make sense of his childhood. Now in paperback.
