Children of Jericho, by Francie Healy
A small town's nightmare, up close and personal

It started with three little kids.
​
We had no idea what we were getting into. We were young and idealistic, and we decided – impulsively – to become foster parents, even though we already had four children.
​
We weren’t expecting to learn about things we could barely imagine: Ritual abuse. “Monsters”. The murder of a baby called Joshua.
​
Three little kids. Their stories, awkward and preposterous, sparked an investigation into one of the largest cases of child abuse in Canada.
​
In the middle of it all, we had to raise our family. It was tough, it was challenging, it was triumphant, and the whole thing might or might not have been a bad idea.
​
One thing’s for sure. It was a story that had to be told.
