Book description
Ransom is the true story of one family's six-year journey to find an accurate diagnosis and treatment for their son.Just before his third birthday, Jack Shepherd was taken. It's every parent's worst nightmare--a child snatched from the periphery of your vigilance. When Jack was taken, he never left home. An overnight extreme behavior and personality change left the family confused and scared. A previously well-adjusted, compliant child, Jack began experiencing intense separation anxiety, vocal tics, fears, and shocking aggression. As he grew, Jack functioned typically for weeks or months at a time before his confusing behaviors and personality change resurfaced with no warning. Hope Shepherd knew something was wrong with her son. Some professionals told her it was a phase while others not so subtly blamed her. Her husband, Luke, held on to the belief that Jack would grow out of his behaviors, but ultimately, he, too, realized something wasn't right. Hope researched tirelessly, prayed, and relied heavily on her faith. This story takes readers on a roller-coaster journey with one family trying desperately to save their son from an unseen captor. Ultimately, Ransom is a story of heartbreak, hope, faith, trusting one's instincts, and ultimately, healing.
