Iron House

John Hart's Iron House is an amazing, cleverly written novel. As soon as I finished the first paragraph I knew that it was a winner.

The plot centers around two orphaned brothers who live at the decrepit Iron House, a home for boys in the mountains of North Carolina. Michael, who is the oldest, is the tough one. He protects his younger brother Julian from bullying. After a tragedy the boys are separated. and do not reunite until later in life. To reveal much more than this would spoil the plot. Suffice it to say that this is a story of fierce family loyalty and buried secrets. Be prepared -- this is a page-turner.
