Publisher's Summary
For years, Skye tried to escape the abuse of her wealthy, influential family. Long after disappearing, her battle continued.
Skye appeared to live the perfect, privileged life of a physician's daughter. When she turned 13, she began to realize something was terribly wrong about her circumstances. In heartbreaking detail, Skye shares the extreme escalation from medications to numerous abusive institutions to ensure her silence.
Silenced with her father's reputation and influence, Skye shares her struggles to get to safety, fighting into adulthood to extricate herself from the grasp of a powerful man at all costs. Skye recounts her descent into drugs and trafficking, surviving a Michigan homeless shelter as a teen, and beating the odds to join the Air Force. As she enters training, Skye struggles to find support or belief from her wingmen and must fight to keep her place and her clearance.
Moved from Florida to Texas, Michigan, Idaho, and Montana, Skye boldly shares the heartbreaking state of the pediatric pharmaceutical industry, the caveats of powerful parents, and the paradox of the missing child's voice into adulthood.
