Non-Fiction Memoir
The inspiring, heart-rending story of a father's unwavering
love for his son. David Goldman and his Brazilian wife, Bruna Bianchi, led
what appeared to be a happy life in New Jersey. But in June
2004, Bianchi took their four-year-old son, Sean, to Brazil
for what she said would be a two- week vacation. Once there,
she informed Goldman that she was staying in Brazil-and
keeping Sean, setting in motion an international controversy
that would eventually reach the highest levels of the U.S.
and Brazilian governments. It would be almost five years
before David saw Sean again. What kept David Goldman going when everything looked so
hopeless? In A Father's Love, Goldman recounts his
extraordinary battle, despite overwhelming odds, to bring
his abducted son back home. It is a riveting story full of
peculiar ironies, unfathomable elements, threats, and legal
twists and turns. Goldman describes in detail the wrenching
emotions he went through and how he relentlessly rallied
support behind the scenes from both high-level U.S.
government officials and national media organizations.
Father and son were finally reunited in December 2009, and
Goldman writes about the challenges he is now facing as he
works to rebuild his relationship with his son, and the
advocacy work he is doing on behalf of other children in
similar circumstances. Goldman's unusual story movingly celebrates an ordinary
man's incredible love for and loyalty to his son, and his
ability to overcome the unimaginable to keep them together.
It is a testament to how connected any father and son can be.
