What would you do if your four-year-old son was abducted-by your spouse?

In June, 2004, David Goldman took his Brazilian wife, Bruna, and their son, Sean, to the airport. She told him that they would be returning to New Jersey after a two-week vacation. Once there, however, Bruna informed Goldman that she was staying in Brazil-and keeping Sean.

In the courts, Goldman found himself outmaneuvered by the legal machinations of Bruna's new husband, a member of one of Brazil's most powerful families. But Goldman never gave up, appealing to the media and the highest levels of the U.S. government for help. A Father's Love is the story of Goldman's incredible five-year battle to reunite with his abducted child-and an inspiring celebration of an ordinary man's love for his son.
