Vernon Baumrind, a dedicated father and accomplished professional, has crafted two powerful books that detail his life’s most challenging journey—fighting for the custody of his children. His story, filled with resilience, heartache, and a fight against the odds, is a testament to determination and the lengths a father will go to for his children. The books serve as both a personal memoir and a fascinating legal and technological story, offering readers an intimate look into the past and the world of family law.
Deceit chronicles Vernon Baumrind’s heart-wrenching battle against overwhelming odds to gain custody of his children. At a time when fathers were often overlooked in family courts, Vernon’s fight was anything but ordinary. Utilizing wiretap technology—still rare in the 1980s—Vernon uncovered a web of deceit involving his wife and a predatory gynecologist. This edition outlines the pivotal moments of his fight, shedding light on the emotional and legal hurdles he overcame and the profound toll it took on his family.

Both editions of Deceit share the same core narrative, with Deceit v Deceit offering readers a more comprehensive view of Vernon’s legal and personal journey. Whether you’re reading the original or the updated edition, Vernon’s story is one of resilience, family, and the power of a father’s love.
