The Rooms I Survived In is a raw, unfiltered memoir about growing up in the wreckage of loss, addiction, and instability — and what it takes to crawl your way out.

From the death of his father at eight years old to sleeping through fights, dodging trauma, and numbing pain with whatever was available, the author walks us through the quiet chaos of his youth — one apartment, one argument, one broken promise at a time.

But this isn't a story about being saved. It's a story about learning to save yourself.

Told with honesty, grit, and reflection, this coming-of-age memoir captures the moment a boy stopped surviving and started becoming someone he could live with. Not perfectly. Not all at once. But fully.
