1. What people are saying about Missing – The Jaryd Atadero Story
This is one of the most moving stories I have ever read. The story is very powerful and
compelling. I don’t know what I would do if that ever happened to me. I find myself blown
away with the emotional weight of the story. It’s a home run, right out of the park, for sure.
Mike from Oklahoma
I just finished your book and being a father I felt ill reading it. I don't know how you handled
yourself. I must tell you your belief in God inspires me. Your faith is incredible in the face of
adversity. I truly hope you find peace in this life.
Jim from New York
I cried throughout but a great story, just wish it had a better ending. I feel strong for Allyn as he
obviously has a great faith and it is evident throughout the novel. The book really left me
wondering.
Judy from California
Missing: The Jaryd Atadero story is one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. I was
able to feel Allyn’s pain and trust me, this book brought me to tears on many sections where I
had to actually put the book down for a few seconds, gain my composure and start again.
Sylvia from Colorado
It was hard to get through as my eyes would tear up constantly & I didn't want anyone to see
me with red eyes; but when I'd get home to share my latest reading in the book with my
husband...I'd let it all out & could hardly get through what I was expressing to him with all the
tears flowing! I just couldn't believe how much your book touched me to just open my
mouth and share a bit with a family member or friend would cause such tearful emotions to
arise in me!
Amber from Colorado
I have just finished reading it. It was amazing in all aspects. We followed his story as it was
happening and want to pay our respects some way to Jaryd and your family.
Mary Beth from Colorado

2. I just finished reading your book this morning. It was a difficult read for me—made me sad ... I
am an avid reader, and I typically get through books quite quickly. I had to put it down many
times. I cannot imagine how you lived through this experience. Only by the grace of god and
your friends and family, I’m sure.
Brigitte
It took great courage for you to write this book...the scenarios just about ripped my heart
out. You are a God given inspiration. I can only hope that I would conduct myself with the same
courage, grace, love and forgiveness as you have if placed in the same reality that you are living.
Denise from California
I will hold dear to my heart the warm memories that you shared with us of your precious little
Jaryd. Your courage through this horrific experience has changed my life. You have given me
hope and opened my eyes to view each day that our merciful God gives us as a gift with my
children.
Aleta from New Jersey
I just finished reading your book and I am truly amazed by your strength after all you have
endured. I cried through much of it as your description of your emotions was so raw and
honest. As a mom, I was often imagining how I would handle such a tragedy--your son must be
so proud of you.
Kathy from Colorado
Through your incredible book, I have felt such an amazing rage of emotions - even knowing the
outcome. I admire that you are able to reach beyond your grief and now try to help, so that
others don't experience what you did! You are a stonger man than most! You have stepped off
that precipice that parents dread most, and I dare say survived the abyss! I know your faith in
God supported you.
