Nearly three hundred thousand children are abducted from their homes each year, either by strangers or by a parent. Accordingly, enormous media attention has been given to child abduction. Television and radio broadcasts, and magazine and news publications have all investigated this problem of epidemic proportions. Parents are devastated by their deepest fears: that one day someone would abduct and likely harm their young child. Thousands of Tears is a staggering true story about a mother’s journey to recover her little girl, AnnaMaria, who was abducted by her father at the tender age of ten months. Her mother’s life was threatened, as she stood seven months pregnant, being told that her baby girl would never see the shores of the United States again. It is an account of a modern-day miracle that reunited them in Germany five years and three months later. This saga of a spiteful abduction and the long-awaited rescue is a captivating story that will warm the heart of the reader. It is an account of genuine heroism and reveals the persistence of a mother who refused to give up on the quest to find her beloved daughter. It is filled with intrigue and is a testimony of hope to families in despair. It demonstrates how our trials can one day become our triumphs. If you don’t believe in miracles, you might reconsider after Thousands of Tears. It is my hope that this book will bring consolation and inspiration to the thousands of people who have been heartbroken by the grief of child abduction.
