The Turpin Thirteen Survivors - How One Family Fought Back and Changed Everything - Inside America's Most Shocking Rescue

Jonathon K. Heflin

Sinopse

In the quiet suburban streets of Perris, California, a house of horrors hid behind closed doors for over two decades. Thirteen siblings, ranging from toddlers to young adults, lived in conditions so shocking they would capture worldwide attention and forever change how we understand family abuse.

The Turpin Thirteen Survivors reveals the complete, untold story of America's most disturbing rescue mission. When seventeen-year-old Jordan Turpin risked everything to escape through a bedroom window and dial 911, she triggered a chain of events that would expose systematic torture, starvation, and imprisonment that defied comprehension.

This gripping true crime investigation takes readers inside the methodical police work that built an unshakeable case, the courtroom drama that brought justice, and the remarkable healing journey of thirteen survivors who refused to let their past define their future. From the initial 911 call to the emotional victim impact statements, every moment is documented with unprecedented access to law enforcement files, court records, and exclusive interviews.

Author Jonathon K. Heflin masterfully weaves together the perspectives of investigators, prosecutors, social workers, and the survivors themselves to create a comprehensive account that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. This isn't just another true crime story—it's a testament to human resilience and the power of one person's courage to save lives.

The book exposes critical failures in child protection systems while celebrating the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to protect our most vulnerable citizens. It reveals how warning signs were missed, how systems failed, and most importantly, how communities can do better.

The Turpin Thirteen Survivors offers hope alongside horror, showing that even in humanity's darkest moments, love, courage, and the determination to survive can triumph over unimaginable evil.

Cherokees of the Smoky Mountains...

Horace Kephart, Janice Kephart

The text relates the powerful and dramatic history of Smoky Mountain Cherokees, who for 40,000 years thrived in the difficult terrain of the Great Smoky Mountains and its surrounding regions areas of what is now Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. With a constitution and organized government, a written language and no economic debt, the Cherokees sought to live in relative peace. However, President Jackson and the state of Georgia thought differently, forcing the Cherokees and their devoted Chief John Ross to leave their homeland and be removed to Oklahoma in the Trail of Tears (1837-1839). Much political tension was exacerbated by the fact that a key Supreme Court ruling by Chief Justice John Marshall made clear that Georgian land grabbing of Cherokee lands was illegal. This story, and how one Cherokee Chief was sacrificed to retain a small piece of Cherokee land in the southwest corner of North Carolina, known today as Qualla Boundary, is told with passion, empathy and historical accuracy. 
Horace Kephart is also the author of Our Southern Highlanders, Camping and Woodcraft and Smoky Mountain Magic, and the creator of the Kephart knife. Mount Kephart, a 6,217 foot peak just northwest of Qualla Boundary, was chosen by Kephart and designated in his lifetime. He was instrumental in the founding of the Great Smoky National Park.  
This version of Cherokees of the Smoky Mountains was revised by Kephart's great granddaughter, Janice Kephart, a spoken word artist, narrator, and US government subject matter expert, having served as a 9/11 Commission counsel. Janice added context for some commentary within the text but left the writing mostly as is, added historical photographs from the Hunter Library Horace Kephart Archive at Western Carolina University and other libraries, and added a new Foreword and Introduction.
