A newborn baby that just won't stop crying. The nanny says he's gassy. Six hours later, the baby is on his way to the emergency room. The diagnosis: cranial fracture that requires brain surgery. The prime suspect: Mom. The ultimate judge: God.
One fateful morning in 2015, Rachel had no idea that her life would be forever changed. She would soon find herself at the center of a criminal investigation. False allegations were made about her character. She was threatened with the possibility of jail and, ultimately, the loss of both her sons to the Foster Care system due to allegations of child abuse.
While Rachel and her husband fight to keep their family together and prove Rachel's innocence, an army of people from all over the world begins to pray. Amid the pain, what seemed impossible began to happen.
The story that unravels is wrought with corruption, lies, and scandals about a system that is purported to protect children. Rachel was thrust into the world of malpractice, family court and child advocacy that revealed devastating flaws in the system and shocking revelations.
This heart-wrenching true story will have you questioning how a family could put up a fight against multiple government agencies and ultimately prevail. You will witness the insurmountable power of God and his infinite grace to protect His children against all odds.
Rachel Bruno is a wife to her husband of 18 years, and a mom of two boys. She has a master's degree in Business Administration and co-founded a successful Cyber Security company in 2010 with her husband.
As a business and communication specialist, her goals were to start a business, and become financially independent so she could start a family. Things drastically changed in the summer of 2015, shortly after the birth of her second child.
Rachel's faith carried her through the unimaginable. Her 7-week-old baby and toddler son were seized by Child Protective Services when her newborn sustained critical cranial injuries while in the care of a nanny. She was evicted from her own home and had to endure an arduous court case to prove her innocence. For 3 years she pursued authorities who erroneously accused her and put her children through a battery of traumatic tests without parental consent. She won her legal case in 2018 and was awarded 7 figures in damages.
Rachel is now an author and public speaker. Her focus is to educate families, while being a voice for those who have been victimized by the unconstitutional vices of Family Court and Child Protective Services. Through the pain of her experience, she came to the realization of her calling: to fearlessly proclaim the role of women in the family, and the gift that comes with it.
