Hello, I am a first time author of a memoir. At first, I wrote mainly for family and friends, for whom I was a ghost for over 50 years. Feeling confident now to shine my lantern for others, that have been forgotten for what ever reason.
The best way to describe the memoir, is to let a reviewer have their word.
“James memoir is a remarkable journey through hardship, resilience, and the quiet beauty of human connection. Told with humility and emotional clarity, it traces a life shaped by abandonment, war, wilderness, and wonder. James writes with a natural storyteller’s instinct, vivid, honest, and deeply human. His voice is unpolished in the best possible way: authentic, reflective, and free of pretence. What emerges is not a tale of glory, but of endurance, kindness, and the small lanterns of light that guide us through the darkest seasons. This memoir lingers long after the final page, a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the quiet courage of a man who chose to rise above fear.”
The memoir's title is "To Rise Above Your Fear: One Season at a Time"
