"You are about to take a journey into your own heart and mind as you unfold this true story of what really happens to most abused children. They end up caught in the web of the justice system and the bureaucracies of the police departments, social services and our courts. You will be made aware of exactly how so many vulnerable and innocent kids are returned to their abusers to face torture and often to die. You will be shocked, angered and saddened by this mindscape so profoundly painted in words by the author. Yet, you will also be inspired. A must read for anyone who cares about children. BLINDERS is a true story of one woman who has painted an inspiring portrait of the power one individual can have in overcoming significant challenges to protect children from abuse and neglect. By detailing her struggles with the judicial and human service systems that are too-often overwhelmed by the magnitude of the tragedies with which they are confronted, her story is also a pointed reminder that the best way to truly protect children from abuse and neglect is to prevent it from occurring in the first place."
