My Grandma: Wanted by the FBI

In 1970 my grandma kidnapped my dad and his three sisters. They were on the run for 7 years, changing names, evading the law...disappearing.
After the children had grown and the dust had settled, after I was born, she wrote her story. It sat on a shelf for many years...until I, her eldest grandchild, offered to share it.


I know snippets of stories. I know the general timeline. I know in each of my dad's school yearbooks he has a different last name- and I know where to look for his pictures.


But, this is my first time reading the entire tale. In order to digest the details myself, I am reading one chapter each week, aloud, without editing or editorializing. I shall learn the details in real time...with you.

“My Grandma: Wanted by the FBI”


I'm editing her book as I go. I find learning this family story from her perspective fascinating. I hope you do too.
