Richie is joined by Samantha Baldwin. Samantha is an author who campaigns for family court reform. Seven years ago she lost custody of her two boys after they accused their father and grandparents of sexually abusing them. The father denied it. The court found in his favour. Realising what was about to happen, Samantha absconded with the boys. The story made international headlines. She has never given up her fight for justice and reform. She has just published her latest book. It's entitled "Pretended Justice" and is a sequel to her first novel "Everything Is Going To Be Okay." For more on Samantha Baldwin and her books, visit:www.samanthabaldwin.co.uk
