Dear Jacob

"Dear Jacob" tells the poignant story of the search for eleven-year-old Jacob Wetterling, who was kidnapped in 1989, through the eyes of his mother, Patty. With honesty and resilience, she narrates the investigation, her family's journey, and her evolution into a national advocate for missing children, culminating in the passage of the Jacob Wetterling Act. The narrative also highlights the unexpected alliance between Patty, local blogger Joy Baker, and plumber Jared Scheierl, whose collaborative efforts uncovered untold assaults and ultimately led to resolutions in the case. This audiobook not only captures a family's heartbreak but also reflects broader societal efforts to address the issue of missing and exploited children.
