A Cry In The Wilderness: Selma Kerren

WHO COULD FORGET THE MOST INFAMOUS FUGITIVE MANHUNT IN U.S. HISTORY?! TEXAS SEVEN’S JOSEPH GARCIA TELLS ALL FROM DEATH ROW. On December 13, 2000, seven prisoners escaped from Connally Maximum near San Antonio, Texas. Among them were charismatic leader, George Rivas, right-hand man Larry Harper, Keith Newbury, Patrick Murphy, Joseph Garcia, and young Randy Halprin; tagged by the media as 'The Texas Seven'. They jumped into a van waiting nearby and their cross-country plight began. The search for the Texas Seven spanned over six weeks and was said to be the largest manhunt in U.S. history involving the FBI, ATF and U.S. Marshall, capturing round-the-clock media attention. Along the way, The Texas Seven shot and killed Irving police officer Aubrey Hawkins. These are the raw confessions of Texas Seven's Joseph Garcia, of sins he committed and sins committed against him since the time he was born. Join co-writer, Selma Kerren, as she accompanies Garcia on his epic journey of truth. Garcia’s style is raw and humorous, with the rarest ability to take readers through an intense range of emotions, as his story becomes darker with every turn of the page. Selma Kerren is an Orange County, California, writer. Contacted by Garcia in 2001, Kerren took on the project believing Garcia’s story to have a profound, social message. The result is a street-smart, heart-breaking rhapsody.
