Book excerpt: By all appearances, Skye lived the privileged life of a physician's daughter. When she turned thirteen, she began to realize there was something wrong. 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 teenager girl 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 voice into adulthood.
