5.0 out of 5 stars A story of domestic violence and more...., July 2, 2001

This review is from: Torn from My Heart: The True Story of a Mother's Desperate Search for Her Stolen Children (Hardcover)
Yes, this book takes TWO days to read, because it cannot be put down!! A story of a marriage gone awry by domestic violence and the final violence of the father abducting the children and hiding them away.

The author painstakingly describes her 6 year search for her children. She finds them absorbed into a religious community that resists their return.

This book is beyond differences of spiritual beliefs but the inhumanity of stealing children and withholding their return without justification.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is worth a film!, May 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Torn from My Heart: The True Story of a Mother's Desperate Search for Her Stolen Children (Hardcover)
I went through the book in one days time. It is very well written. The author managed, no matter the damage done to her and her family, to remain objective in her story.

5.0 out of 5 stars This needs to be made into a movie!, November 24, 2010

This review is from: Torn from My Heart: The True Story of a Mother's Desperate Search for Her Stolen Children (Hardcover)
Patsy Heymans makes you feel as though you are right there going through her six and a half year ordeal with her. Her husband Chaim Yarden promised her that he would ruin her life and he kept that promise. He is the true epitome of evil.
I was apalled to find that the US was allowing strangers to keep Patsy Heymans children from her. When Chaim was arrested the Jewish community kept the children from Patsy hiding the children in New York. With this turn of events Patsy's case went from a parental abduction to stranger abduction.
I'm telling you this book will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions
