Kings Of Colorado
by Hilton, David E
Now in paperbacka heartfelt portrait of young men in a bygone age ( Kirkus Reviews ) about troubled boys, wild horses, and the high price of a childhood lost. Thirteen-year-old William Sheppard stabs his abusive father and is sent to the Swope Ranch Boys Reformatory, setting off a string of events that ultimately leads to a horrifying end in the Colorado mountains. Along the way, he befriends three boys who become his surrogate family. Their work together taming horses brings peace, as the boys struggle to survive a world of hurt and shocking cruelty wherein the only thing they can rely on is each other as the laws of normal society are stripped away. With a backbone of heart-wrenching suspense, Kings of Colorado is a beautiful portrayal of brotherhood set against the nobility, danger, and wildness of youth and horses. The bonds between man and beast, along with other themes of community, friendship, and atonement are boldly explored on every page. Kings of Colorado illustrates just how easily innocence can be stripped away, robbing us of something most precious: childhood.

Review this book!
On Jul 23, 2011, billyminersbooks said
This is a terrific story of childhood friendship and hardship. Will Shepherd's dad is an abusive drunk. When Will is 13 he's had enough and stabs his father. That's where the book starts.Will gets sentenced to a reformatory on a ranch high in the Colorado Rockies. There's no escape and many reasons to want to. The author relays the difficulties and horrors the boys go through without getting overly graphic. A group of the boys become fast friends and their support of each other makes their lives a little bit easier.This book really grabs you, and moves along quickly. It's a good story, told well. I recommend it.
