Author Hour with: Patty Wetterling & Joy Baker

On October 22, 1989, in the small town of St. Joseph, Minnesota, eleven-year-old Jacob Wetterling was kidnapped at gunpoint. Twenty-seven years later, on September 2, 2016, Danny Heinrich led authorities to the boy’s remains.

What lies between is the riveting story of the search for Jacob Wetterling, told by his mother, Patty, and co-author Joy Baker. With down-to-earth candor, she details the investigation as it unfolds, discusses her family’s struggles, and shows how she maintained her energy and optimism.
