About this book

Hiding in an Idaho canyon -- with only an old red Jeep to call home -- Martin J. Miller needs a few things. The top three items on his list are:

FLASHLIGHT

The last three are:

TOOTHPASTE
PHONE
TRUST FUND

But with no trust fund in sight, Marty's relying on his:

EXCELLENT PLANNING SKILLS
NATIVE WIT
QUIRKY SENSE OF HUMOR

while he decides if he'd be better off returning home to his:

NEWLY REMARRIED MOTHER
COFFEE-TABLE-COLLECTING STRPFATHER
H0STILE STEPBROTHER

On second thought, life hiding out in a canyon is looking pretty good....
