Par sa pédagogie exceptionnelle, le Logis méritait qu'on lui consacre un livre. Le Logis, c'est d'abord l'aventure d'un foyer pour adolescents fondé en 1955 dans la région d'Annecy. L'auteure fut pensionnaire de 1980 à 1986, après des histoires de fugue et d'errance, qui l'ont conduit à 15 ans, de l'hôpital psychiatrique au Logis. Elle présente le projet éducatif, analyse les rouages institutionnels, décortique le travail des éducateurs dans la reconstruction difficile des pensionnaires au travers des multiples activités de formation ou de loisirs. Elle nous fait découvrir cet incroyable groupe des Snyüles, groupe folklorique qui parcourt l'Europe comme ambassadeurs de la Savoie ou l'accueil des artistes dans le foyer de Léo Ferré à Jacques Higelin, du ballet national de Monte-Carlo au théâtre de la Criée avec Marcel Maréchal... Enfin, elle donne la parole à celles et ceux qui y ont vécu durant cette période: ex-pensionnaires, éducateurs, bénévoles, musiciens et artistes, afin de mieux nous faire comprendre ce qui faisait l'âme du Logis.Ce livre raconte une histoire humaine et une somme d'engagements hors-norme, mis au service de jeunes en situation de rupture familiale ou en danger. Les 44 témoignages et interviews recueillis par l'auteure sont autant de points de vue sur Le Logis. Nous pouvons ainsi mesurer qu'au-delà de la souffrance à vivre leur placement éducatif, les garçons et les filles ont bénéficié d'une prise en charge et d'une attention remarquables, tout en vivant des moments douloureux, mais aussi, souvent extraordinaires. Ce récit porte un regard de l'intérieur sur cette expérience-choc, portée par la volonté de son directeur pendant plus de 30 ans, Pierre Lavy et par l'engagement de son équipe éducative dans une lutte acharnée pour que les jeunes du Logis puissent se reconstruire et se réinsérer dans cette société des années 80.Préface de Maurice Cusson, criminologue et sociologue, professeur émérite à l'Université de Montréal. Il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages dont le dernier est paru en 2015, sous le titre Les Homicides. Criminologie historique de la violence et de la non-violence paru aux Éditions Hurtubise HMH. Il a été récompensé par le prestigieux prix Beaumont-Tocqueville de l'Association internationale des criminologues de langue française (AICLF) en 2010 pour l'ensemble de sa carrière.

Hours before, he had come out to his classmates— and was met by dismay and confusion. After school he took an overdose of pills. Oddly Normal is Schwartz's very personal attempt to address his family's own struggles within a culture that is changing fast, but not fast enough to help gay kids like Joe. Schwartz follows Joe through childhood to the present day, interweaving his narrative with common questions, including: Are effeminate boys and tomboy girls necessarily gay? Is there a relationship between being gay and suicide or mental illness? Should a child be pushed into coming out? Parents, teachers, and counselors alike will welcome Oddly Normal and its crucial lessons about helping gay kids—and any kid who is different—learn how to cope in a potentially hostile world.
