“This is a book about courage. Any parent’s nightmare is to have their children disappear. It is even worse to learn the captor is the other parent. A story told with intensity and love.”
—DAN RATHER, journalist and author of What Unites Us
“Baker Guy writes with honest and heart-wrenching emotional detail . . . A moving account of a nightmarish family drama.”
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Overall, You’ll Never Find Us is an astonishing and personal tale about the hidden power of refusing to accept mistreatment.”
—READERS’ FAVORITE, 5-star review
“Do I recommend this book? Wholeheartedly. You will laugh, cry, be angry, and then cry some more. That’s okay because you’ll emerge feeling stronger. If Jeanne can face this horrific situation and live to write about it, then maybe it’s possible for each of us to face our own personal demons.”
—LEN LEATHERWOOD, President of Story Circle Network
“Jeanne Baker Guy’s You’ll Never Find Us moves us through shock and outrage to courage and determination, past gendered obstacle after gendered obstacle, past villains and equally guilty bystanders, to a triumph that should never be necessary—a victory over intimate violence of the worst kind. This is a book that will break your heart. And then repair it stronger than ever.”
—RICHARD HOFFMAN, author of Half the House and Love & Fury
“Through her powerful and authentic storytelling, we watch Jeanne Baker Guy grow up from a compliant young wife and mother into a woman to be reckoned with through a powerful and timeless transformation of the human spirit.”
—CHRISTINA BALDWIN, author of Storycatcher and Life’s Companion: Journal Writing as a Spiritual Practice
“A universal story of a young mother coming into her own power, regardless of past mistakes, bad judgment, and fears. An emotionally gripping heroine’s tale, one too many will relate to.”
—SARAH BIRD, author of Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen and the forthcoming Last Dance on the Starlight Pier
“A compelling read. This is a deeply moving story of a mother’s love, dedication, fortitude, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. You feel you are next to her in her determined quest to bring her children back.”
—RICHARD A. ZANSITIS, Vice President and General Counsel, Rice University
“Absolutely gobsmacking and very well written. Jeanne’s story is brutally honest, tense, and full of courage. It had me spellbound.”
—ANN LINNEA, author of Deep Water Passage: A Spiritual Journey at Midlife and Keepers of the Trees: A Guide to the Re-Greening of North America
