In 1976 in Chowchilla, California, three men kidnapped twenty-six children and their driver from a school bus, drove them a hundred miles away to a rock quarry, forced them into a moving van, and then buried them alive. Miraculously, many hours later, two older children dug themselves out, helping everyone escape to freedom.
Six-year-old Larry Park was one of those victims, and this is his story.
Larry survived this horrific ordeal, but he’s never been the same. He’s spent nearly four decades battling mental illness, severe anxiety, drug addiction, and rage issues. He was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder and has even contemplated suicide. But in this poignantly honest memoir, Park shares his tale in the hope of finally slaying his demons and putting his past to rest.
Will Larry quell the voices in his head and the rage in his heart? Will he channel his hard-won knowledge into helping himself and millions of others suffering in the aftermath of trauma? And most importantly, will Larry make his peace with God?
Dive into one incredible true-life story behind the Chowchilla kidnapping, and revel in the tenacity of the human spirit in the face of the evil of this world.
