Mom and Dad, You've got to get us out of here! When you get this letter, COME IMMEDIATELY! -- Charlie The brother-sister pairs who arrive for the summer at Camp Happy Harmony are almost too busy fighting with each other to notice how strange the camp really is. Not only are the campers forced to wear bizarre uniforms, eat gross food, and do chores all day, but the members of the family that runs the camp fight constantly--with each other. Are the campers in danger? Or--in spite of sibling wars--do they need to stick together to solve the mystery humming under the surface of Camp Happy Harmony?

In June 2007, Lee Stagni, an accomplished computer technology executive and advocate for disabled children began a 43-month journey through the Federal prison system that forever changed his life and the lives of those around him. Reading Letters from Camp— One Family’s Prison Story, we relive his experience through his weekly letters home, and gain added insight about his family’s struggles from his wife’s personal diary. The story chronicles life in two federal prisons; the residential drug abuse program (RDAP); the untimely death of his father and his attempts to attend the funeral; and ultimately his return to society through the halfway house and term of supervised release. Stagni’s observations and “lessons learned” are eye-openers. First-time white-collar offenders facing incarceration will discover what awaits them upon their arrival. Stagni and his wife tell their story with the hope that it might somehow help other families through the emotionally ravaging and sometimes terrifying odyssey that is prison.

The letters went out in mid-February. Each letter invited its recipient to spend a week at Camp So-and-So, a lakeside retreat for girls nestled high in the Starveling Mountains. Each letter came with a glossy brochure with photographs of young women climbing rocks, performing Shakespearean theatre under the stars, and spiking volleyballs. Each letter was signed in ink by the famed and reclusive businessman and philanthropist, Inge F. Yancey IV. By the end of the month, twenty-five applications had been completed, signed, and mailed to a post office box in an obscure Appalachian town. Had any of these girls tried to follow the directions in the brochure and visit the camp for themselves on that day in February, they would have discovered that there was no such town and no such mountain and that no one within a fifty-mile radius had ever heard of Camp So-and-So. "The DNA of this singular book winds strands of M. C. Escher, Joss Whedon, and Heathers—Mary McCoy has created something wonderful, wild, and weird. Don't miss it."—Martha Brockenbrough, author of The Game of Love and Death
