SYNOPSIS: Imagine that your three young children disappear.that your husband has kidnapped them with the help of an international fundamentalist community thousands strong.and that it will take all your resolve, courage, finances--and more than six years of your life---to get your children back. Now, with the collaboration of the co-authors of Not Without My Daughter, a mother tells her incredible but totally true story. Patsy Heymans was an innocent teenager when she met Chaim Yarden. The cocky, handsome Israeli soldier immediately swept her off her feet, and almost before she knew it, Heymans was married to him, living in Israel, and the mother of three young children. But her life was far from idyllic. Her charismatic husband had a dark side that included a criminal record and a violent temper. Finally, after years of physical and emotional abuse, Heymans and her children fled to her parents' home in Belgium--her husband's warning ringing in her ears: "Whatever it takes, whatever it will cost, I will destroy your life." He proved as good as his word. After their separation, her formerly nonreligious spouse joined the Satmar Hasidim, one of the most insular groups within the cloistered world of Hasidic Jews. With the help of his new confederates, he kidnapped his children, shuttling them through a self-contained and sprawling religious community. To get them back, Heymans would begin a tireless, heart-wrenching search across Europe and, ultimately, through the streets and suburbs of New York City. Shunned by the Satmars, yet armed with a mother's fierce desperation, Heymans single-handedly and painstakingly marshalled the forces of American and international low enforcement. Battling impossible odds, she finally found herself at the moment that would bring her to the end of her odyssey and to the turning point of her entire life: a closed door suddenly open, a hand on her hand, gently nudging her forward. Already a bestselling sensation in Europe, Torn from My Heart is a riveting true-life adventure, a chilling inside look into a culture of religious fundamentalists, and a dramatic testament to the indomitable power of a mother's love. Patsy Heymans, now the mother of five children, lives in Belgium with her reunited family. William and Marilyn Hoffer have written or collaborated on many successful books, including such international bestsellers as Not Without My Daughter and Midnight Express.
