A novel by Jeffrey Willeford
He was ten when they took him.
Not with violence. Not with screams.
Just a van, a promise, and a silence that swallowed his name.
Inside captivity, Caleb drew dragons-because monsters needed faces.
Because if he could sketch them, he could survive them.
Then he met Alexei.
A haunted teen. A quiet pianist. A sanctuary in human form.
Together, they escaped. But survival was only the beginning.
Years later, Caleb is a father.
Leo, his adopted son, carries the legacy forward-building The Quiet House, a refuge for survivors.
And when Alexei returns, the story spirals into healing, advocacy, and chosen family.
The Taken Child is a grounded survival thriller infused with mythic resonance and emotional depth.
A story of trauma, queer love, and the redemptive power of memory.
For anyone who's ever been lost.
For everyone who's ever found their way home.
