About the Book
On the Other Side of the Street
A Life Chosen Because You Weren't Meant to Stay at the Curb
On the Other Side of the Street is a reflective memoir about what happens after life breaks open—when familiar identities fall away and the path forward is no longer clear.
Using the metaphors of the curb, the crosswalk, and the other side of the street, the book explores the quiet, often unspoken moments of transition: pausing after loss, gathering the courage to move, and choosing what comes next. It is not a story of instant transformation, but of gradual, honest reinvention shaped by lived experience.
The book serves as the foundation for R4 Style, a framework that honors Rock Bottom, Recovery, Resilience, and Reinvention as interconnected stages of beginning again.
