My Child is Missing: Based on the true story of Jared Ropelato

On August 11, 2011, 12 year-old Jared Ropelato got separated from his Boy Scout Troop in the Ashley National Forest, a rugged corner of the Utah wilderness. As darkness fell, Jared realized the gravity of his situation, but instead of panicking, he called on his inner resources of scout training, God, and courage. Then he took the steps to survive his ordeal. When news broke about the missing Jared, it triggered a massive search operation. It quickly became a national news story, and created a groundswell of concern for his safety and support for his family. The search operation was followed by millions, including W.R. Benton, author of "Alive and Alone" and noted USAF Life Support emergency training authority. After Jared's safe return, Benton received the opportunity to talk with Jared's family and to get firsthand written accounts from many people involved. He was so impressed with the boy's resourcefulness, he was inspired to tell this fictionalized account of a lost Boy Scout and the dramatic efforts to locate him. He hopes this story helps remind everyone, including children facing harsh and life threatening events, to never give up hope and to look to their faith when in dire circumstances.
