It is a rarity that a novel can be so powerful, so compelling, and so important that it evokes change for the greater good and benefit of society. Today, I am pleased to share that Chasing The Cyclone by best-selling author Peter Thomas Senese is not only being praised by top book review critics as a rare literary work of great distinction, but the widespread benefits of Chasing The Cyclone are vast and far reaching. Mr. Senese’s deeply inspired novel is raising awareness of a social pandemic known as international parental child abduction (IPCA) that will victimize tens of thousands of innocent children living in America and Canada over the next decade, while remarkably helping many parents protect their children from abduction.
The highly respected New York Journal of Books said, “Chasing The Cyclone is a well-written thriller – Senese shares myriad emotions by writing in the first-person as he weaves through the action in this suspense-filled story . Filled with a plethora of powerful characters and puzzling predicaments and dead ends, the story moves quickly – Cyclone will leave you informed and satisfied – you will be reluctant to put down.”
More importantly, Chasing The Cyclone and Peter Thomas Senese has come to the aid of numerous at-risk parents, and helped create more than a few miracles. I have decided to share some of the sworn testimonials I have read because they are extraordinary (listed here only by initials order to protect the privacy of the children, who may be still at risk of abduction).
- EP, whose child was abducted to the Ivory Coast eight years ago spoke of the miracle Peter Thomas Senese created, “On January 16th, 2012, I received a telephone call from Peter Thomas Senese. He said to me that my son was on an airplane 30,000 feet high over Africa and on his way home to the United States . As for Peter Thomas Senese, what can I say about this incredible man who led the efforts on all fronts to rescue my son? He asked for nothing other than for me to help others one day when my child was home, he provided financial support, emotional support, and all the necessary legal support required. I will be forever grateful to Peter Thomas Senese and the I CARE Foundation for the selfless acts and considerable kindness.”
- AB said, “Chasing The Cyclone and Peter Thomas Senese have assisted me and my family significantly in protecting my daughters from being parentally abducted to Saudi Arabia, where women like myself have no rights. If my children were abducted there, I would never see them again. Today, I sleep a little better due to the incredible efforts of Peter Thomas Senese. Knowing Mr. Senese has helped ensure my children’s safety and has helped protect us from Chasing The Cyclone of international child abduction. Along the way, he has never asked for anything.”
- MR. said, “Unequivocally, Peter Thomas Senese is a tremendous person of great honor and integrity, he acts selflessly on behalf of children all across the globe, he is honest, sincere, unbowed, and willing to stand up against those that act against others. My abducted child is coming home, finally after all these years, in no small way because of the great assistance I received from Peter Thomas Senese.”
- TP, a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy (reserve) and a mother said, “Mr. Senese has assisted me during legal proceedings I have initiated in order to prevent my at-risk daughter from being abducted to Brazil . . . Chasing The Cyclone as a matter-of-fact guide as to the risk factors that may indicate an abduction and legal steps to take in order to prevent this from happening. Mr. Senese’s work and network continue to protect my daughter and other targeted children.”
If you are a fan of well-written, page-turning legal thrillers, heart-warming love stories, or if you want to know more about IPCA, I suggest you read Chasing The Cyclone . Mr. Senese, a highly respected advocate and writer is proudly donating 100% of all e-book proceeds to the I CARE Foundation and also sponsoring a giveaway where one lucky reader will win an e-book copy of Chasing The Cyclone.
This is really scary, especially if you or someone you know is married to a non-American citizen.
It is great to see that when God gives you a lemon, you make lemonade. Clearly, Peter Thomas Senese has done so. His work appears to be very important, and the book reviews I just read are incredible.
Thank you for sharing this information. It is something everyone must know about.
I agree, be on the lookout for the upcoming ebook giveaway. Peter is a kind hearted, genuine person who is making a difference in so many lives.
Thank you Bobbie Anne for your kind words.
Thanks for sharing this. I went to Peter Thomas Senese’s Chasing The Cyclone website and found a lot of important information that I think everyone should know about because this issue is everywhere. I also purchased a copy of his novel on Amazon and once I put my little one down for the night, became engrossed in his novel. In fact, Mr. Senese’s story and writing style are so captivating and raw that I felt so connected with the story’s main character.
Funny how heroes are created in our world out of hardship and unfair challenges they face. Clearly, Mr. Senese is a hero to many for the great work he is doing.
Thank you for sharing! He just sent me a copy of Cloning Christ and The Den of the Assassin and they look great. Keep me updated on your thoughts of that novel.
I’d honestly never thought about it, although I have seen several movies with child abduction as a theme. Very sad. Sounds like an amazing read. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
Thank you Michelle! Have a great day, Bobbie Anne
I really did not know much about it other than seeing some movies and hearing about it on the news. It’s such a tragedy.
I was not aware of how bad it is or what to do. Thank you.
i see and read about it all the time. i have no idea what i would do. i would be so devastated but would do everything to look for them. i keep my eye on them all the time and i plan to drop and pick them up to school when the time comes because of it.
Thanks for your comment Rebeka, good luck!

I have seen several instances of international abduction in the news over the past few years, but I was not aware that it happens on such a large scale. My heart breaks for those families that are affected, and I am glad there’s a way to bring public awareness up.
Good luck Kasee!
thanks for the information ,have not been in that situtation
Hello everyone. This is Peter Thomas Senese. I wanted to stop by and let you know that the issue of international child abduction really is terrible, but by raising awareness of the issues, we can together make a big change. In the near future, the I CARE Foundation will be announcing two new federal legislative initiatives, and we will ask for you to raise your voice on what we are about to do that will protect children.
Good wishes to each of you,
Peter Thomas Senese
Advocate & Author
Thank you for sharing this heartbreaking information. I had no idea ….
I didn\’t understand the severity of this issue either until meeting Mr. Senese and speaking with him about this matter.
I’m glad you decide to share this article!
Thanks to Peter Thomas Senes and Chasing the Cyclon people will know more about IPCA.
Thanks to the I CARE Foundation and their precious work!
Thank you so much for raising awareness of the overlooked crime/child abuse of international parental child abduction. As a mother of two young girls (5 and 2 years old), who were targeted for abduction to Saudi Arabia, I am so encouraged that you are spreading the word to prevent this horrible crime and form of child abuse and to help support legislation to put safeguards in place to protect our children. Mr. Senese has personally assisted me in helping to prevent my girls from being abducted. I am forever grateful to him and the I CARE Foundation. They are the reason my girls are able to sleep safely every night at home in their beds.
Thank you so much for your comment! I am so glad that he was able to help you protect your children. He is a very special person with a heart of gold!

Thx for sharing such an important and interesting article.
I’m a single mother and had been living in different parts of the globe and wherever i go i have my daughter with me…She is 17 years old now…
As a single mom and had been living all alone with my daughter in different parts of the globe, I very well understand the feeling of how it is when we face a problem of our child get abducted as our number one problem is the language barrier…we do get confused and will have problem communicating to other countries….we don’t know where to go and turn when our child get abducted from a different parts of the globe…
To tell you the truth, until this moment, even my dughter is already 17, i still have the fear & always watching my back that she might be taken away from me by her biological father one of these days…As a parent, the fear is always there…
I am so very thankful to have found of Mr. Senese, his hard work and dediction, and for ICARE foundation…and for all of the people who works for the Chasing the Cyclone…
Thank you all for bringing this AWARENESS in our World…
Children are the future of our Universe nd they deserve to have the best of what the future has in store for them…
GOD BLESS YOU ALL…
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Have a great day, you are a wonderful mom!

Thank you so much for sharing this critical information. I am appalled as to how uninformed the judicial system is regarding this travesty and how frequently it occurs. My gratitude to IPCA for their support and efforts and to Mr. Senese for illuminating the horror experienced by the left behind parent when a parent abducts.
Thank you for helping get the word out about international parental child abduction. Not in a million years would I, as a grandmother of two beautiful girls, ever have imagined that my family would be faced with this situation. Had it not been for Peter Thomas Senese and the information provided in “Chasing the Cyclone,” we would have been caught up in this horrible storm without any hope. Everyone needs to be made aware of ICPA and support the work that Peter Thomas Senese and the I CARE Foundation are doing to protect innocent children and spare any parent from being “left behind.”
Peggy, I appreciate your taking the time to leave that comment!
Have a great day!
Bobbie Anne
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this very important article about ICPA. As someone who had reason to fear this happening in the past, as well as later on doing my best to assist in cases of abduction I cannot explain how pertinent the work that Peter and the I Care Foundation is to change and strengthen legislature and educate in order to protect all children. I have had the great pleasure to become acquainted with Peter. He has assisted so many with his knowledge and works tirelessly to make the world a better and safer place for all children. His efforts, know-how, courage, and concern are absolutely invaluable to so many children’s future.
Thank you for your comment, Peter is truly a blessing to many.
