Book excerpt: In this heartbreaking true story, the abduction of his daughter has a father on an emotional and difficult journey in pursuit of justice. The battle is bitter and brutal with the child stuck in the middle of a heartless and inept UK legal system. Constant and baseless accusations from the mother further derail proceedings, causing delays and torment for their daughter. This is a story of courage, angst, perseverance, selfishness, love, and pain. Two sides rivalling for the residency of their daughter. One trying to bring her back home to the life she adores. The other, starting a new life in an unfamiliar location many miles away from family and friends.ExcerptAs always, the court can be rather stressful and frustrating. For all of the positive expectations and desire for success, it's never straightforward and always unpredictable. Court had been something of a mixed bag. The good news is that after court I will be collecting Jessie for our weekend contact. It provided a nice distraction and eased any frustrations. The court process has been long, with no end in sight. Whenever it seems to be concluding, obstacles disrupt the process and prolong the suffering. I browsed through shops as I awaited Jessie's arrival into the city centre. She arrived with Emma and a school friend in attendance. My only focus was Jessie and making the transition as swift as possible. We have a long journey south, and I no longer desire to be in the company of Casey or Emma. The reality is that their body language and demeanour annoy me. They exude smugness and arrogance.
