Overview

NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS, WINNER ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD, GRAND PRIZE SHORTLIST The first time Lynn used cocaine with her father, she was eighteen. The last time, she was twenty-one. In those three years, she lost everything and everyone she cared about and was forced to choose-her father or her life. Lynn grew up the carefree daughter of a Miami undercover narcotics agent-until her dad snuck out of the house in the dark of night without a glance back. She never knew what happened to her father until she was in high school, and he was in prison for drug smuggling. By then, Lynn had developed a dangerous drug and alcohol habit of her own. It was the perfect setup for her to latch onto the only connection to her dad that remained when he was paroled from prison-cocaine. Midnight Calling: A Memoir of a Drug Smuggler's Daughter is a true story about family bonds, addiction and the price of holding on when it's time to let go.

Rarely have I read a more honest, brave, and ultimately uplifting story that keeps you on the edge of your seat praying Lynn can break free. Many times along the way, you think it will be impossible. I rooted for Lynn the entire way, cried when she couldn't break free, and cheered her successes. Her honesty, courage, and drive to become a better person is simply extraordinary. Lynn broke away from forces that destroy people and leave no survivors. This is a must read for anyone who has struggled in life. A heart-wrenching story of sheer persistence and a drive to be free. This story is one for the ages. David Crow, author of The Pale-Faced Lie
