Midnight Calling

A Memoir of a Drug Smuggler's Daughter

By: Lynn Walker

Narrated by: Paige Reisenfeld

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.

Brutally honest

This is a beautiful testament and legacy of two women, the author and her mother, and written incredibly well. This is about her, not her father.

Like so many other children abandoned by their father, the author battles wanting his love and acknowledgment of her life. She follows dark places at an incredibly young age. She is brutally honest in the choices she made. Her mother always wanting her to succeed, never gave up on her, and practiced tough love.

I am truly amazed that Ms. Walker has lived to tell her story. I'm humbled and am a better person after reading her memoir. Through hard work lives can be changed.

Heart wrenching and hopeful

This book inspired me to do my first online book review ever. The power of Lynn’s story and the masterful way it is told kept me wanting more. I’m so happy that the sequel is out.
could not put this book down ! An insightful, educational and inspiring read with a honest picture of the many facets of life’s journey.

love it

this book is awesome. the narrators voice is beautiful and I could listen to her all day

Her courage to keep going.

I really liked this book. Being a recovering alcoholic myself, it's interesting to hear other people's stories. Some of the reading was a bit "stiff", but other than that it was good.

Incredible

Throughly enjoyed this book, what a testimony to resilience! I cannot wait to read the next one!

Great story

It’s an amazing story of survival. Her healing process was wonderfully told. I loved this so much.

I couldn't stop listening!

I absolutely loved this book! The way Lynn Walker tells the true story of her childhood, abandonment by her father, addiction, and overcoming it is fascinating! After quite a struggle, it's nice to hear a success story! I literally could not stop listening, couldn't wait to hear what would happen next - I often found myself unable to leave my car until I finished listening.

The narrator cleverly does voices of different people. Her narration during Lynn's lowest points of addiction was particularly moving to me - I could feel her pain and despair and elation when her craving was satisfied.

I can't wait for her next book, Breaking Midnight! I wholeheartedly recommend!

Such a powerful book

I really enjoyed this memoir it is a great story of overcoming life when the cards are stacked against you. Lynn walker put her life out on paper and let us see her flawed self as only a good author can. I would have never picked this book up if it was not gifted to me but I am glad it was. I recommend this book to anyone who has struggled with addiction or if you know anyone who has. I will pass this story forward as I feel I can help someone out. Thank you Lynn for sharing you story with us.
