As Alex’s daughter, Nora, grows up, she faces her own crossroads of love, loss, and letting go — proving that even the most broken hearts can still find the strength to heal.

Powerful, Honest, and Unforgettable
Conversation on the Edge is a raw and emotionally honest story that dives deep into addiction, healing, and the complexity of human connection. Devin McMillan writes with a rare vulnerability and clarity that makes every page feel personal and urgent.
The journey of Alex is heartbreaking yet hopeful—a man grappling with his past, searching for redemption, and trying to reconnect with the people who matter most. The emotional weight of his relationship with his daughter is especially moving, and McMillan handles these moments with tenderness and authenticity.
This isn’t just a story about recovery—it’s a story about survival, reflection, and the fragile beauty of second chances. The writing is sharp, poetic, and unflinchingly real.
I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended for readers who appreciate character-driven narratives with heart, depth, and truth.

I am really impressed with how raw this is. There’s so much to take in. I felt like I was sitting on the bridge next to the author and really just listening.
