My Name Is Steven Palmer is not just a memoir—it’s a testament to the unbreakable human spirit.
Raised by a single mother, Steven’s childhood was marked by abuse and hardship. By age 12, he was living on his own, battling addiction, homelessness, and pain no child should endure. At 17, he joined the military, searching for a way out, only to lose his mother shortly after.
What followed were years of struggle on the streets, a fight to survive in San Diego, and the desperate quest for hope.
But Steven’s story doesn’t end there.
From the ashes of his past, he built a life of resilience, love, and unexpected success. Alongside his partner Judith, he transformed hardship into opportunity, giving back to communities through quiet acts of kindness—volunteering at food pantries, donating cornhole bags to charity, and leaving big tips for those working hard just to get by.
This is a story of pain and perseverance, loss and love, and the power to redefine what “home” truly means.
If you’re searching for a story of survival that’s honest, raw, and ultimately uplifting—this is it.
This books tells it like it is….raw, yet real. You feel the pain this man went through and the joy of bringing himself out on the other side! Kudos to this extraordinary first hand account of someone who can say to others….”Keep going, keep fighting…you’ll get there….believe in yourself…you can and will do it!”
