The Des Moines Register paper boy kidnappings of the early 1980’s were the inspiration for Kali White’s The Monsters We Make. White was just a child growing up inIowa when the kidnappings took place, and the immediacy of the fear and uncertainty she felt as a girl is taut throughout each chapter. Told from multiple perspectives, with characters that leap off the page and a storyline that haunts, White captures a moment in time that unraveled the trust of a close-knit community.
