Life Hikes: Walking Through Loss to What Comes After
Life and How to Live It
In a city built on survival, one young boy learns the cost of staying alive—and what it takes to finally start living.
Philadelphia in the 1980s was no place for the soft-hearted. For Chaz Holesworth, childhood meant dodging gangs, addiction, and silence after slammed doors. His father’s world ran on heroin, his mother’s on holy fear.
Caught between two extremes, sin and salvation, Chaz learned early on how to disappear: keep your head down, don’t ask questions, and pray someone notices you anyway.
But everything changed the day he discovered music. In R.E.M., Tori Amos, and Nirvana, he hears something no sermon ever offered: truth, raw and imperfect. As his home life spiraled and his faith fractured, those lyrics became lifelines, every note pulling him closer to the one thing he never had: his own identity.
What happens when the noise outside becomes louder than the voice inside?
Or when loyalty to broken people starts to break you too?
Unflinching and darkly funny, Life and How to Live It: Volume One is more than a coming-of-age memoir: It’s a portrait of grit, grief, poverty, and the fragile beauty of hope born from chaos. Chaz Holesworth’s story captures the pulse of Philadelphia’s rough-edged streets and the soundtrack that kept him alive as he battled lost faith, family dysfunction, and his father’s addiction.
For anyone who’s ever grown up in the wreckage of someone else’s choices, Chaz’s story is proof that you can still build something beautiful from the debris $2.99 on Kindle.

The narrative also delves into the flaws of the criminal justice system and the quest for moral and spiritual justice.

Dancing in the Dark
“Little did I know that I would have to lose my literal vision to regain a true vision of peace, which is a vision rooted in the soul.”
Dancing in the Dark is a memoir of transformation—a journey through loss, identity, and the reclamation of light in the face of darkness. When Eva Dalak lost her vision for two years, she was forced to navigate not only physical blindness but also the unseen landscapes of trauma, belonging, and ancestral memory.
As a Palestinian woman who grew up in Israel, her personal story is woven with the collective wounds of conflict, displacement, and inherited pain. Yet what emerges is not merely a testimony of survival but a profound exploration of healing.
With honesty and poetic grace, Dalak traces her path from disorientation to clarity, from fragmentation to wholeness. Through her Peace Activation framework, she weaves trauma-informed practices, intergenerational dialogue, and embodied resilience into a new way forward—not only for individuals but for communities and nations caught in cycles of violence.
This is a story of awakening. Dancing in the Dark invites readers to see with new eyes—to reclaim the sacred, liberate love from trauma, and activate peace as a lived experience. $2.99 on Kindle.

As a boy, Jay Amelong predicted the accident that caused his death, down to the color of the car that hit him. “I will die young, while riding my bike,” he told friends and family repeatedly. “It won’t be much longer, I want you to be prepared.” These were baffling words to hear from the mouth of a content thirteen-year-old—but when Kristina Amelong was only seventeen, her brother’s tragic death unfolded exactly as he said it would, radically changing her life.

The result of her investigation is a memoir that defies belief. Charting a life path from loss and abuse to healing and spiritual awakening, What My Brother Knew demonstrates the transformative power of facing the mystery of death head-on and our incredible ability, as humans, to do just that. $0.99 on Kindle.

Getting My Hands Dirty: A Memoir of Resilience and Transformation from the Gridiron to the Garden
Love Isn’t Always the Answer
As a successful former prosecutor and defense lawyer, Shelley Lynne Levisay thought she understood the dynamics of domestic violence. She fought for victims in the courtroom, armed with logic, evidence, and a deep-seated belief in justice. But when a charismatic and decorated veteran named Matthew walked into her life, she discovered that the heart does not always listen to the head.
What began as a storybook romance devolved into a suffocating web of manipulation, isolation, and terror. Shelley’s confidence was eroded by relentless gaslighting, her independence stripped away by coercive control, and her safety shattered by physical abuse. She was living a double life: a poised attorney in public and a prisoner in her own home, all while financially supporting the very man who was destroying her.
The nightmare culminated in her own arrest, a public humiliation that threatened to end her legal career and everything she had worked for. *Love Isn’t Always the Answer* is Shelley’s harrowing, courageous story of surviving the unthinkable, facing a justice system from the other side, and finding the strength to rebuild a life that is truly her own. It is a vital, unforgettable memoir for our times. $2.99 on Kindle.
