Book Description
What if a serial killer lived in your neighborhood and no one noticed? A
grizzly murder in a small Midwestern town triggers a chain of events of
hidden pasts and misconceptions. A young transient is arrested for a crime
obvious to some he did not commit,while those in positions of power miss the
signs.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) affect 45,000 US newborns annually,
is a lifetime hidden disability and 100% preventable. The more we know the
more we can care. The Whitest Wall is set in an average community and
hopefully will increase compassion for persons affected and support for
healthy future pregnancies.
The three books in the Bootleg Brothers Trilogy have been designed to build
FASD awareness at a general public level by placing realistic characters
with lives and voices in an understandable context. The first book The
Whitest Wall (September 2008) is a journey of young adult male with FASD,
the second book, Tiger Butterfly (September 2009) is the journey of a young
adult female with FASD and the final book Different Beat (September 2010) is
the journey of a professionally skilled family (psychologist and child
development specialist) struggling to raise a baby born with FASD.
