In 1994 I almost lost my life after being attacked by three guys. I hid my battle with PTSD from my friends, family and my daughter. I wrote this children's book to help parents relate to their kids through the eyes of a brave little fox named Felix.

Start the conversation - Heal together
"In the Heart of the Forest"

10/06/2024

For every parent battling the invisible scars of PTSD, and for every child trying to understand why their parent sometimes seems lost in another world, there's now a beacon of hope.

"In the Heart of the Forest" isn't just a children's book; it's a bridge to understanding, empathy, and healing. This beautifully crafted story uses the metaphor of a forest to explain PTSD in a way that children can grasp, making it clear that these struggles are not their fault, and that love remains unwavering.

Why this book matters:

Empathy and Understanding: It helps children see PTSD not as a barrier but as a part of their parent's journey, fostering compassion.

Healing Together: Reading this book can be a therapeutic moment for both parent and child, opening up conversations about feelings and recovery.

A Resource for All: Whether you're a veteran, a survivor of trauma, or anyone in between, this book speaks universally to the heart of family love amidst personal struggles.

Available now on Amazon, "In the Heart of the Forest" is more than a book; it's a tool for connection in families where PTSD is a silent guest. Let's support our community by sharing stories like these, where love and understanding light the way through the darkest of times.

Her sad face when I was nearly 400lbs and she just wanted to race me home broke my heart.

Her smile when we completed our first 5km run together will keep me from ever going back there.

The Great Race : My Daddy & Me is a family book about a father's love for his daughter and using it as motivation to get healthy.

The Inspiration : In 1994 I was involved in a incident and almost died. As a result of my injuries and bad decisions I put on a lot of weight and was nearly 400lbs. One day my daughter who was 5 years old wanted to race me home from the park but I was unable to. The look in her eyes woke me up and this is our story.

100% of proceeds from the sale of this book will be split between my daughter and our illustrators college education funds. They have also agreed to pick a different charity for every month of 2024 and have $2 a book directed there.
