Unmasked

This is Me. Without the Armor

Behind every strong voice is a silent struggle.
UNMASKED is a raw, reflective journey into the truths we hide to protect the image we’ve built. With unflinching honesty, Keith Thorn invites you behind the curtain of a life that looked resilient on the outside—but often wrestled in silence on the inside.

This is not a book about fixing your past.

It’s about owning it. Facing it. And finally breathing without the weight of pretending.
In a world obsessed with image, UNMASKED is a permission slip to be real—and a roadmap back to wholeness.

Our Bad Choices

A Wake-Up Call for Anyone Who Thinks They’re the Only One Paying the Price

We rarely see the full impact of our decisions while we’re making them. In the moment, we justify. We defend. We act out of emotion, fear, pride, or pain. We think we’re only hurting ourselves—or we don’t think at all. But somewhere down the line, after the dust settles, we start to notice the quieter casualties. The friend who went silent. The child who stopped trusting. The partner who stayed, but stopped hoping. This book is not about reliving shame. It’s about finally seeing what we couldn’t before—and choosing to grow from it.
