Publisher's Synopsis
Aquin has been clean for over a decade. But sobriety, he learns, is only the surface. Beneath it lies something deeper: a lifetime of pain, buried trauma, and the long shadow of a violent home. Pathway To Myself is a raw, emotionally powerful journey through addiction, incarceration, healing, and ultimately, transformation.
After serving time and completing court-mandated treatment, Aquin begins rebuilding his life one breath at a time. Through therapy, memory, and human connection, he uncovers the truth: addiction was never the root-it was a response. A way to survive the terror and silence of a childhood shaped by domestic violence.
With lyrical prose and piercing honesty, this novel traces Aquin's path as he confronts not just the ghosts of his past, but the generational wounds passed down through his family. From prison vans to therapy rooms, art galleries to quiet nights alone, Aquin learns that healing isn't about forgetting-it's about choosing to live fully in what remains.
Pathway To Myself is a moving portrait of a man who breaks a cycle that broke so many before him-and becomes the home he never had.
Perfect for readers of memoir-style literary fiction, recovery narratives, and those seeking stories of second chances, emotional truth, and hard-won hope.
