30 Years at Sea: The Brutal Truth About Life in Commercial Fishing --
The Sea Slave: A True Story by Kyle J. Matthews
I was once told by a psychiatrist that I had to write down on paper all the things in my past that haunted me. Things that I thought were normal were acts that were inhumane and wrong. After I wrote everything I could think of, I kept going through my life. I have God in my life today. I give all of my thanks to his glory, to break through from the chains that were holding me in bondage.
The only way God will start forgiving me is if I start forgiving other people. But most of all, I must forgive myself.
As children, we all loved adventures growing up. The adventure, for me, started as a casual glance at the ocean and the fishing boats being prepared for their next adventure. That common experience became something that impacted my life in ways I never imagined.
This is a true story about me as a boy on an adventure that lasted thirty years on the sea.
I grew up with hard-knock old-school discipline and work ethics, as well as believing in God and his Son. All these teachings were needed to endure what was ahead, and many people lost their lives along the way. I cast myself into the industry of commercial fishing, where the laws are few except one: the captain's law.
The worst of situations and conditions can tear a man to pieces, or it can be used to bring incredible goodness and new life.
This adventure brought a legend to the fishing industry scathing injury and death to talk about it.

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy.

Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering.
