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.

From the creative mind of Hugh Pentecost comes a terrifying and prophetic novel that potentially influenced the Chowchilla kidnapping in 1976. The Day the Children Vanished is not for the faint of heart, as readers are taken down the rabbit hole of the mysterious disappearance of nine children, the school bus they rode on, and its driver. On a bright, clear winter afternoon, nine children in the town of Clayton disappeared from the face of the earth on their commute to the Regional School of Lakeview. Missing with the children are the bus in which they traveled and its driver… They vanished completely. So mysteriously so that some distraught citizen of Clayton suggest it was as if they’d been sucked up into outer space by a monstrous interplanetary vacuum cleaner. Dive into the mysterious, twisted mind of the winner of the Grand Master Award from Mystery Writers of America and see for yourself just how the nine children of Clayton disappeared that winter. One of Hugh Pentecost’s most tantalizing stories, Pentecost has “a certain hand and a crafty mind” (The New Yorker).

Cherie was a chanteuse. She said, “I call m'self Cherie. Thass all the name ya need -- like Hidegarde. I won a amateur contest down in Joplin, Missouri, and that got me a job in a night club in Kanz City. But working in a night club ain't all roses..." Bo Decker had his picture taken by Life magazine because he was a champion professional rodeo rider. Bo had heard about women only he'd hardly ever seen one. Bo was a large, beautiful hunk of man -- but green as new grass when it came to Cherie. Bo and Cherie got together when they were stranded at a bus stop one night. Their story is one of high humor -- a mixture of brag, heartache, bluster, and the funniest tough love affair ever put on stage, screen, or between the covers of a book. It is filled with comedy, compassion and tenderness.
