The Children at Santa Clara
Elizabeth Marek. Penguin Books, $6.95 (177pp) ISBN 978-0-14-011118-7
Taking a year off from undergraduate studies at Harvard, Marek worked as an unpaid staffer at the pseudonymous ``Santa Clara'' home for emotionally damaged children. ``She tells their incredibly sad stories here,'' reported PW, but only lightly touches upon the fact that the child-care center was subsequently closed by state order.
