Soul Survivor is an accounting of the events that took place in my home during the fifteen years that I lived with my father. It chronicles the abuse, neglect and painful experiences that I faced as the son of a drug dealer and describes my life among the dangerous criminals and violent drug users that lived in my childhood home. In Soul Survivor I explain how the events impacted me and the long term effect they had on my ability to form relationships and achieve success.

The key aspect of Soul Survivor is choice. Many people feel that circumstances dictate who they become as adults and the direction of their lives is often outside of their control. It is my belief that who we are is who we choose to be and that our willingness to embrace positive influences is at the heart of overcoming even the most damaging influences such as abuse and neglect. The effects that childhood traumas have on adults can have a significant impact on the happiness that we enjoy. In my book I describe how that happiness can be obtained despite even the most horrific events.
