He wants one thing only-that they call off a mission trip for kids who would be staying with the predatory minister. That's all. He fully expects the church to take care of its own problem. But in a bewildering turn of events that makes national news, he becomes embroiled in a vicious legal battle that will challenge all he believes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfolding against the backdrop of Minnesota's beautiful north country, David's story exposes the dark underbelly of our justice system and the lawyers who perpetuate it. With unflinching honesty, he writes of other people's failures, and his own. Yet Blindsided is no mere tell-all memoir. At its heart is a father-son story of family love, loyalty, and perseverance in the face of evil, even when it costs them everything. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Samarzia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888248225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Koehler Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"David Samarzia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425657929983,"sku":"9798888248225","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54b37576-7ab8-4d27-826a-68859de4b5f3.jpg?v=1761540731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blindsided-david-samarzia-9798888248225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
