The Masters of Pathos — M. Lennon Perricone

On a dark Georgia night, tragedy strikes ending the lives of three girl scouts. Drunk, young Pierre Duquesne, heir to a great fortune lays unharmed, unconscious and unaware of his heinous act. To calm the public furor, Pierre is sent to St. Patrick's Hall, a home for delinquent boys in Upstate New York. Privileged and sheltered, Pierre, to survive at Saint Pat's, embarks on a journey to manhood with a diverse group of young men that will change his view of the world and force him to face his true self.
