When Hurricane Dorian barreled toward the Bahamas as a Category 5 storm, my family—my wife, Catherine, our daughter, Hazel, and our five dogs—huddled together, terrified and unsure if we’d see another sunrise. The wind screamed like a monster as ocean floodwaters rose, swallowing everything. Stranded in our attic, with 185-mph winds outside and no hope of rescue, survival felt both a miracle and a punishment. This book is our story: raw, visceral, and heartbreaking. It chronicles how we clung to life, faced unspeakable loss, and pieced ourselves back together through PTSD and the chaos of rebuilding our lives. Writing this wasn’t just therapy; it was a confrontation with darkness, transformed over three years into a journey of survival, hope, and resilience. Readers have called it “edge-of-the-seat” and “beautifully written,” but for me, it’s the truth of love, pain, and unbreakable spirit. If you’ve ever felt tested by life’s storms or sought light in unimaginable darkness, this book will speak to you. Buy it to join us in this unforgettable fight for survival—and healing.
