THE CROSSING TRILOGY
Three Books. One Continuing Journey.
The Crossing Trilogy follows my journey through disruption, survival, rebuilding, and becoming.
These lived-experience reflections explore the curb, the crosswalk, and the other side of the street. Each book offers a different perspective—and room to consider your own crossings.
Read them together or begin with the one that speaks to where you are.
Your Place in the Story
You may recognize yourself in the uncertainty of beginning, the work of rebuilding, or the questions that come with becoming.
More than one may feel familiar at once.
My story provides the lens. You bring your own experience, meaning, and questions.
A Question for the Crossing
Which part of the journey speaks to you today—and what does it help you recognize?
Between the books, the conversation continues through written and visual reflections.
BOOK ONE: On the Other Side of the Street
The Courage to Begin
Available now * Published August 26, 2025
Through illness, addiction, recovery, disability, loss, and survival, I reflect on what it means to recognize that life has changed—and choose a future I cannot yet fully see.
This is where the crossing takes shape: the uncertainty of the curb, the courage to move, and the possibility of building life after disruption.
What becomes possible when we take the first step?
BOOK TWO: OVER HERE
Life on the Other Side of the Street
Coming in 2027
Crossing the street brings us somewhere different. Learning how to live there brings new questions.
Over Here explores the quieter work of rebuilding: trusting stability, finding purpose, living with grief, and making room for connection and possibility.
Through reflections on recovery, aging, relationships, and community, I consider a question that can emerge when survival is no longer our only focus:
What do I want to build from here?
BOOK THREE: STILL HERE. STILL BECOMING.
There Is No Final Version of Who We Are
Coming in 2028
What does it mean to live a life we once did not know we would have?
Still Here. Still Becoming. explores aging, long-term survivorship, belonging, legacy, and the continuing possibility of growth.
Being here can hold gratitude and grief, memory and possibility. As life continues, our understanding of ourselves can continue to grow.
Who am I still becoming—and what matters to me now?
