About the Book
What if you could leave your life?
An unhappily married CEO jumps from a Connecticut bridge, body never found. A troubled flight attendant still mourning her lover lost on 9/11 goes missing from a cruise ship. An Arizona school teacher can’t reconcile the sexual compromise he’s been maneuvered into and steals money from a student kiosk and disappears. An internet sensation crosses the last line left and self-pleasures in front of an audience of millions and is spotted in Virginia boarding a hot-air balloon that’s empty when it crash lands. 500,000 Americans go missing every year, 1500 never return. Where are they and is there a connection? Yes.
Welcome to Out Clause.
