Honestly. A new life. One he had to earn.He's not here to be known.He's just a man who lived through the kind of shit most people only see in films - and survived it. Barely.This is the story he had to write.Because some ghosts won't stay buried......until you drag them out of yourself.This is his first novel. It might not be his last. Read More Read Less
