Don’t Despair

We grow through grieving, pain and heartache.

Don’t give up.

But you must go through the pain. You must endure it, live it, not push it away.

There is beauty and love on the other side.

This award-winning, unpublished memoir, A Minor, Unaccompanied, stitches the healing effects of music in Richard Antoine White’s I’m Possible: a story of survival, a tuba, and the small miracle of a big dream (2021) with grooming in Alisson Wood’s Being Lolita (2020) and youth homelessness in Vicki Sokolik’s If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America (2024).
