REFLECTIONS
Some wounds cannot be seen. But they can shape an entire life.
Steven Taylor knows loss.
As a young man, he watches war take his father. Then September 11 takes his mother and sister, leaving him searching for a way to move forward.
He finds purpose in the Marine Corps and later among the first responders who run toward danger when everyone else is running away. But service cannot erase the past, and the memories he carries refuse to stay buried.
Through friendship, sacrifice, grief, and the unexpected bonds formed between those who have faced the unimaginable, Steven begins to discover that surviving loss is only part of the journey.
Finding Strength in the Shadows is a story about the scars we carry, the people who help us carry them, and the strength we find when we finally stop running from the shadows.
Sometimes finding your way forward begins with looking back.

what a story
This book has all the emotions. Love, loss, moving on and moving through generations! The main character went through so much in his life! I cried several times. Life isn’t always easy but I loved reading to the end of this book and seeing the son SJ’s life and reading the letters with his great grandpa.
