Magic Beneath the Falling Lights

by Joseph Barrows, Laura Poole

This is a story about the journey to love and accept yourself and start to live the life you deserve. Joe’s early experiences introduced him to both physical and emotional pain, leaving him with the burdens of brokenness. He knew he could make a choice to allow the weight of past trauma to defeat him or turn his experience into a catalyst for the life he wanted to live. His story is unique, yet familiar as we follow his path through darkness and understand the lessons he took away from fighting the demons of trauma and willing his magic light to shine through.
