In the desert of Southern California, sixteen biological siblings suffer in secrecy. These sixteen children suffer at the hands of their parents. When the children are starving, stealing a simple slice of bread carries a sentence of a rubber mallet or a carving knife against their bare knuckles. A younger brother sleeps handcuffed and naked in a bathtub, bleeding, hungry and forgotten. Sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, humiliation and degradation are all completely normal. Under these circumstances, survival seems doubtful. Thriving seems impossible. When public school teachers report the suspected abuse, the children are removed from school and denied an education under the guise of homeschooling. Child Protective Services never rescues the children. No adult ever carries the children away to safety. In fact, the heroes of this story are the children who rescue themselves. Through it all the story is one of survival. Daisy Baby takes the reader on a sublime journey through the life and mind of an abused child sharing their pain and ultimate triumph. This true story, which can be validated by court reports and news coverage, depicts the conquering human spirit and the ultimate survival of the children through the most horrendous of circumstances.
