Life can sometimes seem like a complicated constellation of detours and winding roads - some of which teeter on the side of ease and predictability, while others... well, not so much. Follow along with a father who was dealt a difficult hand as he recounts the tragic story of his family, ravished by one of the greatest mistakes in modern medicine. With raw grit and vulnerability, Scott recounts his life growing up in small town USA and details the ways in which addiction and mental illness resulted in losses that no father, son, or brother should even have to endure. Alongside his youngest son, Wes, a medical professional in psychiatry, they take a closer look into the world of addiction and the epidemic we find ourselves to be in - revealing the causes, variables, and paths to consider moving forward. Scott shares the lessons he learned throughout the journey of trying to find his firstborn son, Daniel, help in battling a disease that few understand. Through Daniel's story, the cracks in our system - the injustice, corruption, and discrimination - are directly illuminated and should inspire each of us to work better together. Little Boy Lost is a call to action.

Courage is sometimes found in the unlikeliest places ... Dominic is a sixteen year-old man-child: while he has the body of a prize-fighter, as a result of a terrible seizure when he was a small child he has been left with the mind of a child. In the centre where he spends his days, Dominic is a challenge and an inspiration: someone who struggles against the odds and whose every victory over his limitations is a cause for celebration. But when a new member of staff at the centre breaks a sacred trust, the fall-out is horrific and Dominic becomes a pawn in a dangerous game. Little Boy Lost is the story of Dominic's brave battle to face up to betrayal and show - one more time - that he is a survivor.

Book Description for Web Page Corey Wheelock, her best friend Chris, and her adopted two year old son Danny are enjoying a lakeside camping weekend when Danny is kidnapped. Tense days of searching follow; when no ransom note arrives, Corey tries not to fear the unthinkable. But when a handsome private investigator comes to her home with questions about the Christmas night a new-born baby appeared on her doorstep, a new fear is added. Danny is alive and well, but an unknown someone has received a ransom demand for his grandson. Earl and Yolanda, dangerously incompetent criminals, are not becoming rich and happy as easily as they had hoped. They blunder, they get both careless and unlucky, and almost inevitably their kidnap venture leads to two deaths. A fortune teller/psychic and her slightly retarded brother accidentally become a factor in Dannys safety, and Tommy Logan, the private investigator, suddenly finds his work has become far more exciting than his usual dull routine chores.

"Little Boy Lost": "Little Boy Lost" depicts the life journey of an American male, as his studies in the chosen field of psychology, play a secondary role to the more profoundly influencing people, places, and events which he encounters along the way shaping his perceptions and beliefs. It is a story about the trials and tribulations of growing up as a man in American middle-class suburbia. It's a story told with brutal honesty, humor, and irony. "Little Boy Lost" strips away the male mystique and bravado and uncovers the fear, anxiety, and dark urges which many men experience, but don't discuss. It is not a book about men being from other planets. It is a book about an actual, educated, professional, relatively successful man who is far from perfect and who the author hopes other men will both relate to, identify with, and be inspired, as well as allowing the female reader to more completely understand the inner workings and emotions of their male counterparts.
