William O'Connell

Hello, I'm a first-time author compelled to write this story my children and I lived, and to fulfill a promise, I made to a Judge some 25 years ago. It took me years just to be able to get back into the files that documented this story, as I incurred something similar to PTSD. Yes, this story had such an impact on me, I struggled to write about it for close to 26 years. But this story needed to be told as it was one most would say such a thing can't happen." Unfortunately, it did and this is that story we lived and survived to tell years later.
