Quotes by Paul Bradford (?)

“Real life doesn't give anyone a 'get out of jail free' card. SHIT HAPPENS! No one is exempt. Some struggles don't give us an option for a second try. There are no 'do-overs'. We learn by living!”

"Paul Bradford’s Walk a Mile in My Shoes is not a comfortable book, nor should it be. It is a raw, unflinching memoir, part scream, part confession, part search for redemption, told with grit, anguish, and unvarnished honesty. It is disturbing, illuminating, and deeply human. There is pain here, and anger, and a kind of weary longing for peace that may never come. But there is also a truth that demands to be heard, even if it shakes us. This is not a story of triumph. It is a story of truth. And that, in itself, is something brave." By Bruce Voirin
