This is the powerful story of Walsh's transformation from grieving father to full-time activist, and how he enlarged the search for Adam's killer into an exhaustive, sixteen-year battle on behalf of thousands of missing and abused children. Today, his actions have sparked an international victims' rights movement that gives a voice to the millions each year whose lives are touched by violent crime.
The dramatic impact of John Walsh's fight for change is finally being felt among policy makers, law enforcement agencies, and parents. The heartbreaking story chronicled in Tears of Rage is, ultimately, the story of a true American hero: a man who challenged the system in the name of his son.
