Joseph hopes to start a new life for himself after he finally, tearfully reunites with his immigrant grandfather after twenty years and inherits a house from him. As he works hard to fix the property, however, he draws the ire of local authorities who covet his home. Escalating harassment climaxes with a shocking act of police brutality under cover of darkness and trumped-up charges for Joseph, kicking off a saga of repeated injustices, attorney betrayals, and even an attempted double murder across three states and almost thirty years. Finished as the corrupt systems that tried cover up these crimes begin to crumble, House of DeWolff combines a vivid retelling of his story with documentation of the entire case to bring the truth to light. This true to life work reveals Joseph's family history, the kidnapping that changed his life, the miscarriages of justice that plague him and his family, and his continued struggle for relief and vindication.
