In a small Oregon town, American criminal history reached a tipping point when a series of trials exposed the darkest side of American fundamentalism. Over the past decades, thousands of children had died at the hands of their own parents — legally. Local authorities knew why it was happening and who was responsible but did nothing, because faith-based neglect was not a crime. Cameron Stauth's In the Name of God (Thomas Dunne) tells the story of how police, prosecutors, and a lone church member triumphed over religious zealotry. Stauth will be joined in conversation by Rita Swan, the country's leading advocate against faith healing abuse and one of the book's subjects.
