Rising from a Dark Place

Here’s an excerpt from You Can Rise Up:

I felt as if I should have been in my dad’s place. I should have been the one stabbed and killed that night. My dad was a good person and a good husband to my mom. They had been married thirty-two years, and two idiots had taken his life senselessly.

I wondered what purpose my life served, if any. I was experiencing low after low after low. My world was dark. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. My hair started to fall out from the stress. It was all too much.

A New Year, A New Book
