AMERICAN
FORK, UTAH (April 1, 2001) -Being a judge and an author has proven
to be a compelling combination as Clair Poulson uses his unique
insight into the criminal mind to create I'll Find You, the #1
best-selling LDS novel.
"I've
worked with so many different kinds of lawbreakers after twenty
years in law enforcement and ten years in the courts-people as
tough as they come," said Clair Poulson. "It is a part
of me."
It
is with this understanding that Poulson creates a story that is
as gripping as it is believable. At age six, Jeri Satch witnesses
her best friend Rusty Egan being kidnapped and can only yell "I'll
find you" as the stranger speeds away. Now, seventeen years
later, Jeri feels a spark of recognition when she meets a prison
inmate who resembles her childhood friend.
Clair
Poulson uses this web of drama, tragedy, and love to paint the
vivid tale of the life of a criminal and the changes that are
possible. "I've witnessed firsthand the struggles of prisoners,
and I have seen ones who could be reformed" he said. "Remarkable
changes can
happen when prisoners are touched by the gospel and the right
example."
"I'll
Find You has sold the entire first and second printing, for sales
of 11,590, since its release in February. The response to the
book has been phenomenal. Clair Poulson is the LDS version of
John Grisham," said Robby Nichols, vice president of Marketing
at Covenant Communications.
"As
our best-selling book, I'll Find You continues to fly off the
shelves-far exceeding our expectations," said Jackie Gibb,
assistant manager of Seagull Book and Tape. "Customers like
it because it is a book that breaks the mold. It isn't just a
mystery or a romance, but an intriguing combination of both."
