I read the book They Cage The Animals At Night, by Jennings Michael Burch. This book is a true story of the author himself, Jennings Burch. This is all about the struggle of his childhood and the many hard times that never seemed to end for him. Jennings was a normal 8 year old boy living in a small home with his very poor family. He had his very ill mother, one brother in the hospital, three older brothers, and the youngest brother. The family was in hard times. And when it all became so overwhelming to his mother and she got very sick, all the children were split up and sent away to live in orphanages or other homes. Jennings experiences through these homes were very traumatic. Being beaten, or being lent out to uncaring families. This book is about Jennings journey to a new and better life that he grows to have. Its about the people he learns to love along the way, and the little things that gave him hope. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. You will fall in love with this story.
