Join Moderator Carmen Lansdowne and special guest David Giuliano as we discuss The Undertaking of Billy Buffone.
About the Book
The Undertaking of Billy Buffone is a story about the trauma—immediate and ongoing, personal and collateral—inflicted by Rupert Churley, who preyed on boys in Twenty-Six Mile House, an isolated town in northern Ontario. The suicides, the conspiracy of silence, the secrets and the damage done to the boys, their friends and families, persist long after the murder of Scouter Churley.
