Kathleen Taylor's brilliant novel "The Nut
Hut" takes the reader on a harrowing trip inside a state institution for
people with mental disabilities, circa 1971. Through young Becky Decker's
baptism of fire -- her first week on the job -- we explore Byerley State
Hospital with the eyes of an innocent. Our appreciation for the workers and the
patients and their day-to-day dance of survival grows along with Becky's own.
By the end, we're confident that she -- and we -- have a better understanding
of them all. Highly recommended."
