Anniversary of Evil

Abduction happened here.


This Thursday, February 26, 2015, marks 7 years since the morning that turned our world upside down and changed, not only the course, but our whole lives forever. It's been said over and over that our lives can change forever in an instant. Most of us, I know I did, smile and nod as if we know what that means. But I truly believe that until it happens to you, we never really understand and, I don't think we really understand "the Grace of God" until we have only survived because of it. At least, I didn't.

I'll be posting several times over the next several days with photos (some never seen here or in the book) some video and excerpts from "Walking Between The Raindrops" to commemorate this infamous anniversary; ending where we are today.

"Walking Between The Raindrops" by Mary and Paul Roland - An American couple's true story of kidnap-for-ransom in the United States as directed by the most vicious drug cartel in Mexico. (Now available worldwide on Amazon.com)

Some reviews -

"Excellent read! This could have happened to anyone." Mark Flickinger
"Incredible true story! Very hard to put the book down." Lance Self
"Incredible story! So well written that I find myself rechecking the locks on all my doors at night. The cooperation of all law enforcement agencies restores my faith in the system. Very impressed with the dedication and capability of Investigative and District Attorney personnel in such a small community." Darlene Miller

Bad Girls

Women committing crime is as old as time. Lilith, Bathsheba, Helen of Troy - the list goes on and on throughout known history and the not so known. Still, it doesn't sit well with most of us when a woman does something that defies understanding. When a woman snaps against an abuser with violence, we might not condone her behavior, but I think most of us understand what motivated her. A woman who steals to feed her children is still a thief but we sympathize with her. We've all rooted for the woman who's made bad choices for what appear to be good reasons. What, then, do we do with the woman who does bad things for no reason? What do we do about the girl who just wants to be bad?

Meet Sam.  She's young. She's attractive. She's got assistant management experience: assisting in grand theft auto, assisting in the management of prostitutes, assisting in the management of credit card theft and assisting in kidnapping and extortion. What do we do about girls like Sam?
