Hide and Seek: A Dad's Journey From Soulless Addiction to Sole Custody

By Paul Summers

Hide and Seek: A Dad's Journey From Soulless Addiction to Sole Custody is the story of a three-year-old girl being raised by drug-addict parents. This sobering account is told by her father, a washed-up musician. When his wife kidnaps their daughter and serves him a bogus restraining order, he must decide between deepening his drug excesses or protecting his daughter from her mother's reckless choices.

Alone, with no guarantee of being reunited with his little girl, the father struggles. Can he overcome a gender-biased legal system, a culture dismissive of fatherhood, and the improbability he'll mature beyond the familiar lure of his irresponsible lifestyle?

A tragic account of the damage inflicted upon children by those with substance abuse disorder (SUD), this memoir reveals the inner dialogue and contradictory deeds of addicts. Crafted to benefit afflicted families seeking sanity, alcoholics seeking sobriety, and dads identifying their purpose. This is one addict father's hope to earn the privilege of being at his daughter's side.
