  Andrew Hale-Byrne, a student at the Grenville Christian College, tells the harrowing story of how an elitist cult on Cape Cod, founded by two self-proclaimed holy women, managed to infiltrate and take over a preppy Anglican boarding school in Ontario. With patronage from the highest levels of Canada's government and business elites, Grenville College and its partners actively covered up abuse decades of abuse and malpractice. What followed were many years of institutional violence -- psychological, physical and sexual abuse -- against the children of the school, all under the guise of establishment Anglicanism. Andrew chronicles the history of the abused victims and how he exposed the school management, the cult and the Ontario establishment. The upper-crust cult on Cape Cod was a “who’s who” list of the cream of society, including a Rockefeller heiress, a Chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a Chairman of Arthur Young. Andrew provides a look inside the peculiar world of a religious cult at the apex of American and Canadian societies, from the dizzying heights of wealth that backed the school to the harrowing suffering of students. Due to Andrew's exposé, many victims of abuse have been targeted by retaliation campaigns launched by the school, its defenders and a corrupt Anglican hierarchy. However, death threats have not intimidated Andrew from his mission in his fight for justice, which culminated in the Canadian courts. Matters pertaining have now been proven in the Canadian courts. In the past two years, four judges in Ontario ruled in favour of Grenville Christian College litigants, awarding them 12 million dollars in damages. This was the first class action under the 1992 Class Proceedings Act of Ontario to go to a full common issues trial and the first to win. All previous court actions have been settled out of court. While such a victory has been won, this sum is a mere pittance compared to the pain and suffering many have endured and continue to live with every day. Countless former students have committed suicide, including recently in the United States, where a former cult member self-immolated in front of the Israeli embassy. As the saga continues to twist and turn beyond the courtroom and into the lives of Grenville’s victims, Andrew presents a work documenting the extent of the school’s actions and those that covered up the systemic abuse emanating from this once-revered institution. These include four Lieutenant Governors, Members of Parliament, Diplomats, and Anglican Bishops.
