Triumph

Autor Jones, Clarance
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Annually, a quarter of a million children enter the foster care system in the United States due to abuse and/or neglect. The novel Triumph opens with a young mother suffocating her infant daughter, Katie, to gain attention due to Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. Katie's journey, through her rescue and placement into foster care, opens the door into the cloistered world of juvenile court justice - a system where juveniles are locked away in jail cells, sent to foster homes, and/or placed in therapeutic residential centers - all from public view. The writer, a Connecticut Superior Court Trial Judge, now retired, provides the reader with the portal through his experience in the system. Through this portal a kaleidoscopic array of trials and tribulations involving protagonist Katie and other juveniles inside and outside the courthouse clamors for the reader's attention as our heroine barely escapes another active plot to kill her. Extrapolated from actual court records, spiced with a subtext of love, sex, and murder, uncovering government corruption, as well as adventure in the heart-wrenching stories of children, Triumph emerges from its journey well-traveled through turmoil and eventual victory. Raised in Montgomery, Alabama, educated at Tuskegee University and Howard Law School, former Tutor in Clinical studies at Yale Law School, Clarance Jones creates characters with stories inspired by actual cases over which he presided as a Connecticut Superior Court Trial Judge. Former President of the National Consortium on Racial and Ethnic Fairness in the Courts, and former President of the Connecticut Judges Association, Clarance resides in Sarasota, Florida, and Madison, Connecticut with his wife, Maureen. They have three adult children and four grandchildren.
