Crossing Medea

A mid-career college professor in idyllic southern Wisconsin was jarred from his tranquil life into one marked by chaos and opposition from nearly every angle. His crime: loving his kids. This devoted dad saw his children turned into weapons and used against him by a mom willing to poison her own kids to avenge. Undaunted, he fought for 16 years, determined never to give up on them. His kids needed him; he needed them. In his way stood an unsympathetic and often hostile court system, incompetent psychologists, antagonistic family members, and our most cherished cultural belief in the sacrosanct relationship of mother and child.
