Michael LaFleurMichael LaFleur writes from America's unforgiving interior, where grace breaks through moral complexity to offer authentic redemption. His work carries the weathered honesty of a man who has reckoned with abandonment, institutional and familial failue, and the harsh landscapes that shaped him.Born into a chaotic military family, LaFleur's journey took him through military service, academic struggle, and a spiritual awakening that transformed his understanding of grace and belonging. Today, he speaks about authentic transformation, institutional reform, and breaking generational cycles. He writes from the conviction that redemption is possible-but only when we're willing to face the truth about where we've been and trust in the grace that makes new beginnings possible.He lives with his wife Christina in Virginia, in the sanctuary they built together from the remnants of broken systems. The Cloud Grows Thin is his first book, but not his first act of survival. Read More Read Less
