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.

Publisher: Diversion Books
ISBN: 1635763487
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Three couples struggle through tricky relationships in a novel “shot through with an offhand lyricism, snippets of wisdom, and a ready humor” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). After her first year in college, Olivia de Havilland Hand returns home to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, amid tornadoes and the chance for rekindled love. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, her half-sister Jessie tries to keep her new marriage to immature King afloat as she plans for the arrival of their first child. The sisters’ lives intertwine with others as their father fears losing his two daughters, and Olivia’s anthropology professor has a tumultuous affair with a fellow academic. An interconnected web of relationships thrives against the backdrop of a world in transition in this literary rumination on the joys and sorrows of family and love from the National Book Award-winning author. “Gilchrist’s distinctive, flowing voice keeps one engaged throughout.” –Kirkus Reviews “Scattered from North Carolina to New Orleans, with outposts in Oklahoma and Boston, the Hands are forever bouncing up and down on the branches of the family tree to test its strength. As young members struggle for autonomy and older generations fight for control, alliances are formed, allegiances betrayed. And through it all, the Hands talk: to one another, to their psychiatrists, to themselves. In Starcarbon, Ms. Gilchrist has blended these resolutely individual voices to create a richly textured family fugue.”—The New York Times “Gilchrist's marvelous storytelling gifts are abundantly lavished on her new novel, which continues the saga of the Hand family and its intricate network of kinfolk.” –Publishers Weekly
