"A must read!... A good meaning father looking to simply form the bond, the bond that is their right is thwarted, and his book encapsulates some of the struggles and injustice of the family court system. If you want an inspiring read, I strongly endorse this book."
--- Tony Fredianelli, founding guitarist/songwriter of multiplatinum artist Third Eye Blind, and Apocrypha.
“Relatable and real. Summers gives us an excruciatingly vivid glimpse of addiction and the mayhem that an addict brings to their relationships, especially to those who love them the most. Hide and Seek shows how effortlessly drugs and alcohol can hijack a life. Summers finds his way to recovery through the miracle-working power of the twelve steps. Not only does he unscramble his destruction, but he becomes a pillar of stability for his small daughter. Hide and Seek brings hope to the lost.”
--- Lisa Boucher, author of Raising the Bottom
“I was spellbound by Hide & Seek. It’s an eye opening must read for anyone that has or needs to overcome any adversity. Hide & Seek is much more than just a story about addiction, recovery and custody; it’s a testament to perseverance, dedication, resilience and redemption. Paul Summers’ brutally honest and touching account of this chapter of his life is a true testament to the triumph of the human spirit.”
--- Ken Jordan, Founding member of platinum artist The Crystal Method, pioneers of Big Beat and EDM music.
“Paul was a vital part of a blooming local rock scene in a much smaller Las Vegas, paving the way for the likes of The Killers and Imagine Dragons. You'll read in visceral, unflinching detail how his musical dream was derailed. But you'll cheer for him realizing he had to get fit for a more important career: Being a father."
--- Mike Weatherford, veteran Las Vegas entertainment journalist
“Redemption is such a beautiful thing. Paul leads by example in this touching, inspiring and sometimes painful story of a fathers redemption. His story is relatable to all those in recovery, and inspiring too those who should be in recovery.”
--- Stephan ‘Bax’ Baxter, The Punk Rock Museum curator, Art With an Agenda founder
