A Song for Kalen


On that fateful day, T.R. awoke in New York, unaware of the news to come. By Noon, he was thrust into a living nightmare where soul-crushing experiences would be measured in seconds. He rushed to South Carolina where he encountered a scene no parent should ever witness. T.R. embarked on a series of brutal decisions only to find himself immersed in an emblazoned battle to retrieve and rescue his eight-year-old son Karter from the clutches of foster care in another state.


The book follows he public trial and conviction of the mother and her boyfriend. T.R. shares the exact moment he found forgiveness and the implications his forgiveness had on countless lives. He brings us to the brink of despair, then sets off on the wings of a butterfly, to discover our own humanity through the heart-wrenching talk of father and son.

He has worked as a diagnostician and therapist in a residential children's treatment center, a Child Protective Services Investigator, a service coordinator writing plans of actions for adults and children with disabilities, and an addictions counselor and child advocate.
