This book started out as a joke. As I wrote it though, over the space of a year and a half, I realized a couple of things. First, I still have issues to work out. Second, a zillion other people are working on the same things. With that in mind, I've put together a collection of anecdotes and advice based on hard-won lessons about alcohol, triggers for over-drinking, building better habits, and success in life. If you think you might benefit from drinking less, this book is for you. Want to drop a subtle hint for a friend who's overdoing it? Leave a copy out on the coffee table or drop it on their desk. I'm sharing parts of my personal story here to give you some context for the book, and to let you know that whatever problems you're facing, whatever you've been through, you're not alone!-Rick Gehrke

As a daughter of an FBI agent, Katie knows the basics of child abduction prevention: don't talk to strangers, don't get into a car with anyone you don't know, and don't piss off Midas. But Dad broke the last rule, and now Katie is left to pay for it. Just days after her fifteenth birthday, Katie is taken by Midas, the most elusive and efficient kidnapper the FBI has ever seen. None of Midas's victims have ever been found dead or alive, and it does not take long for Katie to find out why. Midas dumps Katie into a compound filled with his other 'trophies,' children he has kidnapped, ransomed, and abandoned to the elements. The thin green armband around Katie's wrist separates her from the other kids, marking her as valuable, but once Midas is through extorting Katie's father, she will become as expendable as the others. Katie now has to choose whether to merely survive or risk her life trying to escape.
