Failure of a System
This is a very well written story that clearly screams for change in a system that is supposed to protect a child from sexual abuse and did not. As a reader I was angry this child's emotional and physical abuse was never stopped until age 11. The biological father never cared about Cheyenne. It was all about sick control. I am glad she and family are no longer in touch with him and that as a young adult she has emerged with hopes, dreams and happy times. Her childhood was robbed by a child welfare system that failed her. Shame on every one of them. Her mother did what she had to do for the love and protection of her child. Sadly, there are no winners in this story.....only time to finally heal.

Heartbreak and Joy
This book has so much heartbreak that a family had to endure at the hands of so many people who let them down when the only thing they are guilty of is doing what a parent is meant to do...protect their child! My heart broke into pieces at what they went through. I was happy to get to the joy part when they were finally able to follow through on keeping their child safe. Also joy at the happy ending of a family whole and together after the harrowing journey they have been through. Many blessings to this family for fighting and never stopping to keep her safe!

Eye opening and extremely well written
Book two of two. Hard to believe a child and family can go through such a horrendous ordeal and then have to fight the very system that is supposed to protect, sadly it's happening every day and across the world.
Thank you Rachel for having the courage and determination to share your story to educate those of us who can only imagine, but have no idea what it must really be like in this or a similar situation.

Incredible courage.
These two books was like reading my own life, but in two different way put together. I love how it's written, it kept me intrigued and unable to put it down. In fact I read the second one in 3 days! It's inspired me to finish writing my book. So thank you. Im so happy you survived it and made it out safe and happy in the end. Truly frustrating situation and I have your back on it all. God bless you and your family.

Bringing Cheyenne Home. by Rachel Jensby.
This is her second book which finished off Kidnapping My Daughter. Very much a page turner for me.
Was keen to see what the outcome would be for them all ... whether Cheyenne would be safe ... would it affect her in her teenage and adulthood .. could Rachel and Ben be able to live their life as a family.
Great book that also gives you a insight into how and what they endured!

Great book and very touching, her first book and this were two books I have ever read.
This was a great book as was the first book. They were well written Oand made you feel as though you were there. My heart went out to Cheyenne, her mom, her dad and the rest of her family. So happy everything worked out for them. Sadly I know that doesn't happen often. In my experience, family court is never about the children or the family.

Bringing Cheyenne Home
What Steve was awful. Cheyenne did not deserve to be treated like that. I don't understand why there was no trial for Steve. Why did the court let him get away with it. I am so happy that Cheynne made it in the end. It is great that she is with someone who really cares for her

After reading the first book and not being able to put it down,, I had to read this one as well. My heart went out to the young girl and her parents fit having to go through this. I'm so glad she made it!

To be happy and free
Regardless of the abuse Cheyenne spurred at the hands of her biological father, the love that her Stepfather Ben and her mother Rachel showed for her was able to heal Cheyenne . I am so happy that all turned out well and they had a happy ending.

October 20, 2020This book, as its predecessor, gave me the chills. Rachel is a courageous person for sharing hers and her daughter story. I hope this works out as a wake up call for a lot more women around the world.

terrifing
I am truly moved by Cheyennes story. My heart breaks for her. Although I might have done things much differently, I was not living that nightmare as they were. I dont think enough was done to prevent Steve from doing what he did to Cheyenne. I wouldn't have just gave in to the courts, & let things continue to happen to my daughter. If one lawyer didnt help, find another. I f one judge couldn't help find anither. If one therapist couldn't help find another. I would NOT have stopped. If I had to go public with it, I would have done that. If that didn't work I would have gone higher & higher till someone listened & did something, instead of burying my head in the sand and let this monster get away with harming my daughter, mentally or physically. I hope this story helps some other parent to know that there WAS other options that could have been used. I'm not saying that they didnt try, but I felt that they were more worried about what the courts thought than finding someone who could make a difference. I'm sorry Cheyenne endured all she did. but, I think it could have been preventable.

Reality is heartbreaking!
It is so heartbreaking, not just what an abused child has to endure, but what our systems that are supposedly put in place to make things better and right makes the abused and their famikies go through. I cried and hurt for these people as their lives were so devastated and to know this goes on in many situations throughout time. The healing process is tremendous. Perhaps there are some victims that doesn't heal as well. How can we make it better?

Great read
I could not put this book down. It made me cry. So sad to think about how this court system views parents rights as if children are property instead of people. Our system is set up to protect the parents, usually the wrong one, instead of protecting the innocent. Thank you for sharing your story.

Wonderfully written
I thought this was wonderfully written. I must say this family is very strong for what they have endured, especially Cheyenne, and Rachel. I can't believe the way the court system treated them and subjected a innocent child too so much drama. I can't believe how they didn't make Steve pay for what he did. I just wish them the best in their future.

Excellent writing !
Loved everything about this story except of course, what our family courts subject children too. What a strong little girl along with her mom and Ben. This story gives courage and hope to others.
