Deon Williams: From Hell To a Home, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Some stories don't begin with a single moment. They begin with everything inherited before you were old enough to choose. Deon Williams grew up carrying what his family left him - strength and instability, endurance and fracture, the quiet dignity of a grandmother who built something stable anyway and the chaos that came after her. By the time he understood what he was holding it had already shaped him in ways he was still learning to name. This is the story of what that shaping cost. And what it eventually produced. Moving through lineage, mental health, masculinity, faith, accountability, and personal restoration, From Hell to a Home is not a redemption narrative that tidies everything up. It is an honest account of a man who survived a suicide attempt, lost a childhood friend to the same, and had to decide what to do with a life that almost wasn't. It is also the story of a morning routine. Push-ups. Coffee. Scripture. Jazz playing low while it's still dark outside. The quiet discipline of becoming someone who moves not because he feels like it but because he said he would. The book opens with a letter to his mother. It closes with a letter to himself. Everything between is the honest distance between those two people. This is not a book about having figured it out. It is a book about refusing to stop trying. Not perfectly. Just intentionally. Forward.
