About Have You Seen These Children?
This book follows the lives of four young children caught between love and hate—hostages to the cruelty of revenge. Valorie, Veronica, Vance, and Vincent’s perfect world turned into a nightmare one hot afternoon in 1959. What was to be a quick lunch with their father turned into four dreadfully long years of running, hiding, and then vanishing into obscurity. Determination, courage, and a rosary were all they had on their side. Individually, they were victims; together they were warriors. And in the end, love conquered all.
