The Desert Kids: Enemies of The State

After digging his own grave and being tortured in the midwestern desert, David's 11-year-old nephew Aaron escapes from the desert. He is found wandering aimlessly at midnight in downtown Grand Junction, Colorado.

David, once a local party boy, took his five nieces and nephews into his home, only to discover their case was a carefully constructed façade. Behind the bureaucratic paperwork lies a chilling truth: a Judge colluding with CPS to return the abused children to their deadly parents to help the County cover up its negligence. An expansive network of officials will destroy anyone who threatens to expose the truth.

David, five of his nieces and nephews, the DHS, and the Judge are all set to collide. What followed was so horrific that the family was afraid to talk about it for over 10 years.

What changed? David's now-teenaged daughter started asking about her forgotten childhood. Digging into court transcripts, recordings, and documents that read like a legal thriller on government letterhead, David chooses to tell his daughter the truth - why they cannot return to the United States - in a series of 20 letters that walk the reader through the events and the trial that shaped their future. David's daughter, Michelle, responds to each letter.

Perfect for readers who loved Defending Jacob and Presumed Innocent, this explosive true account shows what happens when those meant to protect our children become the greatest threat to their survival.

Brace yourself for a legal thriller like you've never read before: This true story will have you questioning all you thought you knew about how our government responds to the most fragile of its citizens: Foster children in need.
