Newly Released On Amazon: We Will Stone Him and The Beast Within
Rising From the Ashes is a three‑part memoir chronicling the long, painful, and ultimately transformative journey of surviving childhood emotional abuse and rebuilding a life from the inside out.
This trilogy is not about sensationalizing trauma.
It is about naming what was never spoken, understanding the long shadow of emotional violence, and reclaiming the self that was buried to survive.
Each book reflects a different stage of the journey — the breaking, the reckoning, and the rise.
The first book in this trilogy, We Will Stone Him, was published January 2026. The second book in this trilogy, The Beast Within, was published in March 2026.

Thank you for walking this path with me. Your support means more than you know.
Book One reaches back into the hidden world of childhood emotional abuse — the confusion, the silence, the shifting rules, and the constant fear of doing something wrong without knowing what “wrong” even was.
This book explores:
the emotional violence that leaves no bruises
the impossible loyalty children feel toward the people who hurt them
the way trauma rewires a child’s understanding of love, safety, and self
It is raw, honest, and unflinching — but never graphic.
It is the story of a child trying to survive a home that demanded silence.
The continuation of the author's story as he transitioned into adulthood. The Beast Within will be a raw, haunting memoir that traces the long shadow of childhood abuse into the fragile terrain of young adulthood.
If Book One is about survival, Book Two is about the aftermath — the years when the past resurfaces in adulthood, demanding to be faced.
This book explores:
the anger that erupts when truth can no longer be buried
the fear of becoming what hurt you
the fractured identity trauma leaves behind
the desperate attempt to build a life without a blueprint
Here, the “beast” is not the abuser — it is the internalized voice of trauma, the one that whispers doubt, shame, and self‑blame long after the danger is gone.
The conclusion of the author's story as he transitioned into his later adult years. A Life Well Lived will be a reflection of the quiet stretch of later adulthood, the author no longer runs from the past, nor is he consumed by it. The wounds that once defined him have softened into scars, and the silence that once suffocated now holds space for reflection. Healing did not arrive as a revelation, but as a slow, deliberate walk toward wholeness.
A Life Well Lived will not be a victory lap but a quiet affirmation: that survival can evolve into peace, that dignity can be reclaimed, and that a life shaped by pain can still be beautiful, deliberate, and free.
This book explores:
rebuilding identity from the ground up
choosing boundaries over chaos
learning to trust your own voice
finding meaning after years of survival mode
It is the quiet triumph of a life reclaimed — not perfect, not healed in a straight line, but honest, grounded, and finally, fully lived
Projected Publishing Date - Fall 2026
I share private, thoughtful emails about trauma recovery, boundaries, emotional clarity, and the writing process behind the trilogy.
If you want to walk this path with me:
This trilogy exists for the people who grew up in homes where:
love was conditional
safety was unpredictable
silence was demanded
truth was dangerous
It is for the adults still carrying the echoes of that childhood — the ones who wonder why they feel broken, why they doubt themselves, why healing feels like a maze.
These books are not just a memoir.
They are a mirror, a map, and a hand reaching back for anyone who has walked through their own fire.
