This is a story about a boy growing up, who tried his best not to let the world break him. A true story ripe with awesome tales of overcoming obstacles, slaying demons, conquering adversity, and being crushed to perfection, over and over and over. This book’s message is centered in recovery from abuse, addiction and trauma, but is viewed from the perspective of an artist whose childhood trauma and a history of addiction shaped him. This is a story of a man trying to feel normal in a world that seems so crazy. Warning: Mature themes.
