Summaries

In 1934, Marian Rose White is placed in a State Home for the Feeble-Minded by her uncaring mother when her father dies. She is a young teenager and nothing is wrong with her except for some clumsiness caused by poor vision. State law requires the sterilization of all inmates. Sympathetic nurse Bonnie McNeil befriends Marian and protests her treatment.—Herman Seifer <[email protected]>
