It tells the story of twelve Black men who were forced into a forest in 1911 to work as workers at the state's Hospital for the Negro Insane. The book blends personal stories with archival documents and investigative research to explore the mental health struggles of Black families and the secrecy that persisted for generations. The book explores how America's mental healthcare system treats Black people, tracing the legacy of slavery to the treatment of Black people's bodies and minds.
