Dr. Franklin “RAD” Shoemaker
30+ years, frontline
Dr. Franklin “RAD” Shoemaker has spent over thirty years watching children get broken by the very systems designed to protect them. Now he’s done playing by the rules.
Alongside his wife Tonya, he hunts the patterns no one else wants to see — the perfect foster homes that are actually prisons, the “success stories” that are actually disappearing children, and the quiet, clinical ways trauma rewires a kid until they no longer recognize themselves.
The well-dressed ones. The ones who know exactly how to make a traumatized child look healed on paper while slowly erasing every part of them that refuses to comply.
The scariest monsters often wear cardigans and go to church.
Book One · The Unblinking Code
He hadn’t blinked in forty-seven days.
Not once.
0
times you’ve blinked since arriving (est.)
0
times Micah has
Eight-year-old Micah stopped blinking because blinking meant missing something. And missing something, in the places he had been, could get you hurt. Or worse.

The Files
Each book follows a different child — and the terrifying survival strategy they were forced to develop. Open any file to read the first page.
But the deeper RAD and Tonya dig…
This isn’t random.
There is a pattern.
There is a network.
And someone — or something — has been quietly breaking children for a very long time.

The Authors
Warning: this is not a couple who “became passionate about trauma.”
Dr. Franklin Edward Shoemaker, PhD, LMHC-QS walked into the work in 1992 and never found the exit. Licensed mental health counselor. Qualified supervisor. Nationally certified TF-CBT. Nationally accredited adoption clinician. Doctoral research on child maltreatment and the severity of attachment difficulty in children ages five and older — the study that refused the fairy tale that the gate slams shut at five. Forensic training. Residential. Therapeutic foster care. The chair across from the family that has already tried everything that photographs well.
Tonya A. Sharrett-Shoemaker, MA did the other half of the same war. Certified professional educator. ESE K–12. Elementary. ESOL. 2024 Teacher of the Year. The adult who has to translate a fear engine into a Tuesday lesson plan while an IEP team argues about whether the child is “choosing” it. She does not romanticize the classroom. She has staffed it.
Together they are the authors of From the Clinic and the Classroom — No Magic Wand. Clinic without the classroom is a theory. Classroom without the clinic is a behavior chart with better fonts. They publish as Dr. RAD | The Attachment Code Breaker. They are adoptive parents. They did not outsource the night shift. Three children. Seven grandchildren. Lakeland, Florida. Faith in the room, not as a slogan — as the reason they stayed when the protocol ran out.
Their position is rude on purpose. There is no wand. There is a code. Loss writes it. Maltreatment writes it. Screens can keep it looping. Later trauma does not miss the cutoff. The move is not nicer stickers. The move is Snapped → Shifted → Solid: name the engine, cut the loop, build the adult who stays.
Decode the pattern. Break the cycle. Or keep buying the Band-Aid.
The classroom
Tonya A. Sharrett-Shoemaker, MA
2024 Teacher of the Year · ESE · ESOL
The woman who will not let a treatment plan die at the school door. If it cannot survive third period, it is not a plan.

What happens when the children finally stop performing… and start remembering?
