They Are My Children, Too: A Mother’s Struggle for Her Sons

Catherine Meyer | English, 1999

A harrowing and heartbreaking true story of international child abduction by the wife of the former British ambassador to the United States. This book is Catherine Meyer’s page-turning, play-by-play account of a living nightmare, the story of the determination of one woman fighting for her children and of the inadequacy of current international laws against child abduction, which fail to protect either parents or children against the occurrence of this kind of tragedy. In the process of pleading internationally for the right to be with her children, Meyer met and married British diplomat Christopher Meyer, providing a happy turn-of-events, if not quite a happy ending, to this story.
