About this listen
A raw, powerful memoir of fatherhood lost—and the relentless fight to rebuild a life worth living.
Ten years after separation tore his family apart and ripped him from daily life with his children, one father is drowning in silence—grieving, addicted, unmoored.
With nothing left but a pair of hiking boots and a sliver of hope, he sets off on a three-day solo trek through New Zealand’s Southern Alps. What begins as an escape becomes a reckoning—with his past, his pain, and the man he’s trying to become.
What you’ll find inside:
- Addiction, anger, and the silent suffering of separated dads
- A decade-long transformation through nature, therapy, and soul-searching
- Honest reflections on love, loss, fatherhood, and identity
- A mountain hike that mirrors the climb back to self
- Hard-won insights into peace, resilience, and letting go
For separated fathers.
For men told to “be strong” and “move on.”
For anyone who needs proof that healing is possible.
This isn’t just a memoir. It’s a lifeline.
If you’ve ever felt broken, forgotten, or lost in the dark—this audiobook is for you.
