When life hurts the most, who do you call on?

In my early twenties, I faced some of the most horrific times a person could imagine one right after the other—profound loss, abandonment, separation from loved ones, emotional and mental trauma, addiction to numb the pain, dark depression, and even an attempted act of suicide.

As everything was being taken away from me, I felt wounded and perplexed without an ounce of fight and courage left in me. I felt like I was in the middle of a storm with lightning flashing and the thunder cracking. Oh, how I wished for the storm to pass, but no, it was here to stay, leaving catastrophic devastation behind that would take years to heal, if ever. All I could ask was one very real and critical question: Are You there, God?

In the midst of my personal tempest, a powerful story was being written. I found myself on a quest, an urgent and unrelenting search for truth. In this very real battle between good and evil, I sought compassion and empathy and ended up discovering deep matters of the heart.

My memoirs are the real and raw account of my journey out of the depths of confusion, pain, and despair to find purpose, love, and redemption. It’s a story with a message so compelling, it holds the power to transform your life as well—no matter what adversity you are facing.

“By the end of One Man's Journey, you will feel as if you had walked alongside the me through my valleys and peaks. The conclusion, which speaks directly to the heart, leaves readers with a sense of hope and the possibility of transformation through grace and perseverance. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a story of resilience and faith, especially those who have faced loss or are on their own quest for truth. This is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration in their own journey of faith and personal growth.”

This memoir will explore the journey of families, those who are born of blood and those who are not.

While it’s been said you can’t pick and choose your family, I see it differently. There are special people who come into your life with such a connection and bond that you just can’t deny.

Let’s face it: many people have been hurt the worst by the ones that are supposed to love and protect them. Many feel betrayed, leaving feelings of anger, bitterness, and loss.

This story offers hope found outside the scope of what others would deem a traditional household. It’s a story of healing that comes from those you least expect, a story we can all resonate with!

Current Work In Progress. Release date, Fall of 2027!
