An incidental and shocking discovery of a cave with tiny unmarked
graves shatters the peace of Exton, a small town in upstate N.Y.
More horrifying is the forensic analysis that reveals that these
young children died needlessly as the result of neglect and abuse
at the hands of a religious fundamentalist cult that disavows
medical care. Evangelicals and their political action groups come
to the defense of the cult and the parents of the dead children
setting the stage for the final courtroom clash to come. The
sheriff, an investigative reporter, the local coroner and two
forensic experts from Albany develop the case. When the county DA,
a fundamentalist Christian, resists vigorous prosecution, the
Governor of New York intervenes and appoints Rosemary and Calvin
Brandt to represent the State and speak for the dead children.
These controversial attorneys and former fundamentalists have
devoted their lives to the protection of children. Evangelicals,
through their political action groups, come to the defense of the
Cult and the parents of the dead children, setting the stage for
the final courtroom clash between freedom of religion and the
State's responsibility to protect innocent children. Author's Note:
If you believe that prayer for the sick to the exclusion of medical
care is a thing of the past, think again. Each year children in the
United States suffer horribly and die from injuries or medical
conditions readily treated by physicians and hospitals. Do a
literature search on faith healing or go to the website of
"Children's Healthcare Is a Legal Duty, Inc."
(www.childrenshealthcare.org) and you'll see a litany of horrors as
a small segment of mostly fundamentalists allow their minor
children to die from diabetes, pneumonia, asthma, and many other
conditions all readily responsive to standard medical care.
