Matthew Garon

After three years of sobriety and a prestigious award as a chef, Matt Garon took his curiosities and talents from the kitchens of Todd English and Barbara Lynch to Southeast Asia, where he worked in Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. Once becoming a father and shamefully relapsing on methamphetamine during the process, the next decade of Garon’s life is a roller coaster ride of heartache, sexual violence, assassination attempts, chronic relapses, and ultimately, his second-time-around daughter abduction. Garon struggles through fatherhood maintaining his fight against his addiction in order to become the parent his daughter needs.
