NJ Dad in 5-Year Brazil Custody Battle Writing Memoir

Custody case became international news

A New Jersey man whose 5-year custody battle for his son became international news has a book coming out next year.

David Goldman's "A Father's Love" will be released in May by Viking, the publisher announced Monday.

In 2004, Goldman was married and living in Tinton Falls, N.J. when his wife Bruna Bianchi flew to Brazil with their 4-year-old son, Sean, for what was supposed to be a vacation. She announced she was staying there with Sean, later divorced Goldman and remarried.

Goldman spent years in American and Brazilian courts before he finally brought Sean home in 2009. Bianchi died in 2008 in childbirth, but Sean's Brazilian stepfather and grandmother continued to fight for custody in Brazil.
