There’s no shortcut to becoming.
The Long Road to Here is a memoir, yes—but not the kind with a polished arc or tied-up ending. It’s a book about the slow, painful, beautiful, and humbling process of returning to yourself after losing your way.
This book doesn’t try to glamorize the journey. It honors the struggle.
It tells the truth about missteps, about how we learn late what we wish we knew early, and how the road back is never as straight as we imagine.
A Personal Reckoning
This was the first book where I allowed myself to speak openly about:
- My fractured relationship with my father
- My mistakes as a husband and a dad
- The shame that clung to my decisions
- The slow, daily work of forgiving myself
I wrote this not because I had finally figured it all out, but because I hadn’t—and I realized that maybe that’s where the wisdom is.
Themes You’ll Find Inside
- Redemption that doesn’t come quickly
- The long arc of healing within a family
- The echoes of childhood pain
- The quiet rebuilding of faith—not as a religion, but as a lifeline
- The dignity of honest reflection
This isn’t about wallowing in the past. It’s about mining it—for meaning, for growth, for perspective.
Who This Book Is For
- For those carrying regret—and unsure how to let go
- For adult children trying to understand their parents, and vice versa
- For men trying to be better without pretending to be perfect
- For anyone who’s taken a long way back to themselves and is still walking
This book doesn’t preach. It confesses. It reflects. And maybe, it offers something like hope.
A Mirror, Not a Map
There’s a reason this book isn’t full of advice: I don’t believe in “10 Steps to Healing.” What I believe in is walking. Falling. Getting up. Saying sorry. Starting again.
And maybe sharing a few stories along the way so others know they’re not walking alone.
