A powerful, suspenseful mystery about children in the foster care system trying to find trust again wrapped in an unusual love story. The stage is also shared with the Mexican Cartel and its freedom to continue to bring drugs and violence into America at record numbers. Two people come along at the perfect time, each having an unbridled passion and love for those children left to a broken Social Service System. Harvey is a prominent east coast attorney finding his way to Seattle to meet up with his destiny. Roberta is head of Washington State's Child Protective Service. Harvey and Roberta collide during an event with a battered, abused, and abandoned infant child thrusting them into an evil, unknown world of distrust.

The stories you will read about these children are confirmed. Unfortunately, in courts across America, children lost in the "system" are sometimes treated like road kill. They are regularly taken from their protective parent and returned to their abuser in the family in courts around the United States. They are horrifying, unbelievable at times, and disturbing stories of what many children face. Sharing this information is an "end around" disclosure of the need to revamp a 50-year-old system "prioritizing children first" and holding courts "accountable." Systems written during the 1940s, never reviewed or revised, have failed too many times to put these children's needs on their agendas during these ever-changing times.

These stories are primarily from first-hand observation and personal interaction with these children, unveiling the long-standing position of "broken trust" experienced by these kids repeatedly. The largest age group of children in care is under five and younger. There are over 400,000 children in America, and growing at a pandemic rate primarily due to drugs and mental health issues, which also have not been on the agendas of politicians.

You will read about an, uncharacteristic and odd paring of two people who combine their talents where the mission is to help kids in peril find trust again. But instead, they tangle with the Mexican Cartels, hopefully saving young ones from being stolen only to be placed into sex trafficking locally and globally. Harvey and Roberta discover a kind of love that is lost in today's environment of moral decay.

We believe you will find this a fascinating, chilling, and heartstrings read at times, recognizing how overworked social workers are dealing with children and the shortage of good foster homes for those kids with nowhere to go. These heartwarming stories about kids in peril will touch your spirit children lost in a broken down system, and you will be encouraged by those who give their hearts and souls to helping these kids.
