What We Did to Him

Jonathan Vetter is dying, and before the cancer takes him, he intends to tell the truth about the summer of 1987. He was seventeen in Granby, Massachusetts, part of a group of teenagers who followed a charismatic leader into escalating cruelty against a young man who couldn't defend himself. For thirty-seven years, the lie held. Now Jonathan is writing it all down — every name, every act, every silence — and mailing his confession to the people who deserve to read it.
