Drug Gang Violence &
Child Custody: New
Literary Fiction Tackles
Abuse Themes
James R. Olsen’s new mystery book keeps readers on their toes as
Jonathan, the protagonist, finds himself the guardian of two young
children who display obvious signs of child abuse. 
Fighting government bureaucracy to
keep the children from potentially more
harm, Jonathan is faced with his
sister’s former drug dealer who wants
to question the kids about missing
drugs. 
A page-turner for its suspenseful prose, “Suffer the Children” by
James R. Olsen has recently been awarded the 2021 Global Book
Award. 
Olson receives the recent
award with humility.
He says that despite being a work of literary fiction, the
book's main themes of child abuse are based on real life.
The author says that drug gang-
related abuse is rampant, and many
children - particularly of drug addicts
themselves - are those that suffer
the brunt of the harm.
According to police authorities, many children of drug addicts
often display signs of emotional and even sexual abuse.
Parents who are addicted to
substances are typically part of a
drug gang and use their children as
collateral for more substances.
It is an endless cycle, authorities note, where addicts engage in
risky behavior that produces children who are taught maladaptive
strategies for coping with everyday problems.
Suffer the Children can be
purchased as a paperback,
eBook, hardcover or
audiobook.
One review of the book reads, "This book will absolutely
keep you turning pages."
"I stayed up very late reading
because I couldn't put it down."
