Daughter of Deceit: The Human Drama Behind the Walker Spy Case

John Walker's story has been told elsewhere. This is the story of the lives he shaped when he exercised the prerogatives of a father - and it is the story of that family when he abandoned it for his own pursuits. This is Laura Walker's story. It is the story of abused, misguided children, the story of someone tempted to join her father's enterprise in order to receive the positive reinforcement that deprived children want from their parents. It is the story of a despairing mother, married to the wrong man, and robbed of her son. It is the story of a woman whose only support at times came from a faith in God.
