Overview
Plunged into the broken foster care system of the 1970s at the age of five, Gino would spend the next fifteen years bouncing from one home to the next, unwanted and unloved, or so it seemed. He was convinced that he would die homeless and alone, just another life that slipped through the cracks. But one can never underestimate the power of kindness…
A coming-of-age tale first witnessed through the eyes of a child and then a young gay man, "Broken Boy" is the true story of Gino's journey through foster care to the heart of a loving family. Part manual for prospective foster parents, part emotional exploration of the value of family, it is filled with hard-won lessons of kindness, cruelty, redemption, and the ultimate triumph of unconditional love.
