Prologue

Have you ever wondered how different your life might be if you just walked away one day? If you just walked away from everything...from everyone...you've ever known? I'm sure people do it every day; just disappear. People, tired of who they are...or aren't, people just wanting a second chance to do things differently; to see what their life could have been if they'd chosen the other fork in the road. Just regular people...

But what if you're not a "regular" person? What if you're one of the most recognized people in the world? What if you're a Backstreet Boy? Could you just walk away one day from it all? From the fans, the money, the fame? From the group and your family? Just walk away and not look back? Could you do it?

Well, my name is Nick Carter...youngest member of the Backstreet Boys...and I did just that.

I walked away.

And I didn't look back.
