Description
Millions across the country were captivated by the heart-wrenching events taking place in Chicago. An innocent boy, known to the world only as "Baby Richard," became the object of the most controversial custody battle and failed adoption in history. The media furor -- spanning four years during the mid-nineties -- would prompt the passage of new laws and spread to other countries. This book reveals the myths of this notorious case, the unreported events since, and the unique challenges of living through it all for "Baby Richard." It's the true, inside story that will reshape your thinking today! You Will Discover How: Danny ("Baby Richard") survived the frenzied media, lies, public hysteria, and death threats; the conflict raged through the courts and state legislatures; powerful and prominent people, including First Lady Hillary Clinton, jumped into the controversy; the Baby Richard Curse felled most of the major participants, including Bob Greene ("the Baby Richard columnist"); Danny talks about his dramatic past, today, and his future. This is a reality book ... about people's passions, struggles, failings, and victories, by Danny's therapist, Dr. Karen Moriarty, licensed clinical psychologist. Disclosed with her clients' permission, this comprehensive narrative -- by the only continuous eyewitness -- provides the exclusive update on the child and all of the players. No matter how much or how little you know about Baby Richard, you will be surprised by this behind-the-scenes, intimate journey through the epic case. Book jacket.
