"I am excited to explore themes of human dignity and respect for creation in this year's All Bonaventure Reads selection. When discussing themes of social justice, the topic of ability is often forgotten. The Boys in the Bunkhouse reminds us of significant shortfalls in attaining equitable treatment of persons with disabilities." —Chris Brown, director of St. Bonaventure University's First-Year Experience (FYE) program
