Where Children Run: A True Story

Where Children Run: A True Story

Twins David and Dennis Pischkeâ€™s lives change forever when their father dies, and a man damaged by the war arrives at their farm near the isolated town of Moosehorn, Manitoba. Boleslaw Domko quickly works his way into their lives and their motherâ€™s bed.

"Where Children Run" opens with one of their earliest memoriesâ€”the day Domko throws their infant stepsister against the wall. In this first-hand account, the Twins recall years of neglect, starvation, and enslavement; horrific beatings and candlelit nights spent in the nearby St. Thomas Lutheran Church. Neighbors intervene, but their efforts provide only temporary relief as the children's motherâ€”also living in fearâ€”refuses to press charges.

The brothers vow that if they survive, they will someday expose their tormentor and members of their motherâ€™s religious organization who turned a blind-eye to their suffering. This is their storyâ€”told with stark honesty and in heart-wrenching detail.

"Where Children Run" is a timeless, unforgettable book about survival; and a powerful testament to the strength and adaptability of the human spirit.
