Based on the true story of the Copeland kidnappings.

In every divorce there are two sides to the story, but for the children stuck between them who is right and who is wrong makes little difference. Even the best intentions sometimes lead us down the wrong path, but there is always hope.

TALTRIX is based on Copeland's novel SURVIVING THE GAUNTLET. Copeland is a writer who lives in New York City. As a playwright she is a Kilroy's Nominee for her plays, "Light of Night" and "R Culture" -upcoming production in Minnesota Fringe.

On writing THE COPELAND KIDS, Copeland had this to say, "When I saw what was happening at the border to so many children and parents, I couldn't stand by and do nothing. I know the long term effects of being separated from your parent at a young age. The best way I can help make people understand is to tell my story."
