Reflections

About the Book

This book is my way of showing the world that no matter what the world throws at us, we are not alone in this. My drawings in this book are an example of my emotions that I go through on any given day. My hope for this book is to inspire others not to quit on themselves because if I can rise from this then, anyone can.

About the Author

I was born and raised in Southern California , but spent my adulthood in a small town in the state of Iowa. I lived in Iowa for fifteen years, had it all, a wife, children and a good job, but my mental health and my addictions caused me to lose everything. Moving back to California I was at my lowest. My mom just passed in 2016 from colon cancer, and I was lost and found myself in a dark place where I used substances to numb myself. In 2020 I got a severe infection on my right hand and had three fingers removed, that is when my life changed.
