About the Book
The book begins with the story of Audrey Lyn Nerenberg, who's been missing since 1977. It describes the day she went for a walk around the corner to buy a pack of cigarettes and never returned home. No one has ever discovered what happened to her despite the efforts of the Police, FBI and many missing person organizations. The story continues with some of the circumstances surrounding Audrey's disappearance that made her case less likely to be carefully scrutinized by the 1977 law enforcement team. As a result, the NYC Missing Persons Squad of today must trace stale clues left over from the past two decades in order to retrace Audrey's last known foot steps.
Although Audrey was ill with Schitzophrenia, and had been determined of having the mental capacity of a minor, she was not searched for as missing child would have been. She was considered nothing more than just another runaway. This section ends with the huge battle on April 10, 2002 to convince Florida Congresswoman Karen L. Thurman to introduce the bill H.R. 4162, also known as the "Audrey Nerenberg Act" in the House of Representatives. The big fight was won, but the battle is not over yet because it has to be voted on by congress. But Rep. Thurman is convinced that this bill will seek to amend the "Missing Children's Assistance Act" to include missing adults determined to have a mental capacity of a child under 18 years old.

The book, "MILTON NERENBERG: GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER, AUDREY!" is a compelling well told, but sad story of a father's and family's ongoing search for their daughter, Audrey. The book provides a vivid account of the Nerenberg's family history with text and color photos. A must read for everyone. Milton was thoughtful enough to remember his good friend, Jim, whose wife, Patricia Viola, has been missing since 2/13/01 and is documented in a web site, http://patriciaviolamissing.homestead.com.

About the Author"Before Audrey disappeared at the age of 18, she was a smart beautiful girl with a beautiful figure and today I'm afraid I'll never know what happened to her. However, this is something I'll just have to get used to and I know it will be very difficult, but as everybody knows, time will heal almost everything." Today as time has healed most of the pain, Milton Nerenberg for the first time reveals his side of the story. With insight, humor and a candor that will both shock and delight many readers, he discloses the truth behind Government policy and speaks frankly of the unhappy events of his search. With a depth of feeling rarely found in memoirs, he tells of his own successes and failures as a son, brother, friend, husband, father, and as a man. |
