Abducted

This is my story, but it’s not my whole story. The whole story would
take too long to write and would be too cumbersome to read. My
coauthor, Dean Merrill, and I wrote and revised the manuscript and
made cuts and more cuts. Unfortunately some of those cuts involved
people who are near and dear to my heart, who worked incredibly
hard to support me during and after my ordeal in the jungle. To
these people I say, you were not left out because you aren’t important.
I hope you know what a special place you hold in my heart.
My goal in writing this has been to tell Martin’s story. I hope
we’ve done it well.
