His Kidnappers Shoes, Maggie James, 334 pages

Laura Bateman is in custody in a mental health facility.  Daniel Bateman, her 'son' is very angry.  The reader follows parallel stories of Laura's past and Daniel's present.  We learn that Laura kidnapped Daniel when he was four years old.  From Daniel's story we learn that he can no longer be with the person he loves now that his past has been revealed.  The story presents a thought provoking look at abuse and it's effects through generations.  Daniel meets someone who helps him come to terms with his past, and he in turn helps Laura come to terms with her present.
