Skulls and Coffee

Well, I've been done with this book for a while now. For a good week after reading this, I was still thinking about the book. I have to admit that my religious beliefs include belief in healing through prayer. So to read about Christian sects that exclusive believe in healing and that seeing a doctor is a lack of faith resulted in quite the interesting internal dialogue. 
The downside to let this book marinate in my mind, is that the less I thought of it, the less of a priority it became to review this book. So here we are nearly two weeks later. And I really want to write something wonderful encouraging people to pick this book up and read it. Instead, the magic of the book has faded enough that not even my notes and post-it's stuck in the book is enough to make me remember.
 
So a brief synopsis-faith healing sects using religious umbrella laws to avoid prosecution for either child abuse, manslaughter, or homicide. With work by local cops, prosecution, and a national advocate who helped roll back these umbrella laws; you can no longer say that you oppose doctors on a religious basis for children.
 
The book focuses on both the advocate and the hard work rolling back religious rights laws in America, and a local team of cops and prosecutors who take on the status quo to get justice for these kids.
 
Heart wrenching with the ability to induce both tears and anger; this book is a must if you're interested in religion in politics and true crime.
