Join in with Alex on a raw, vulnerable and heartbreaking story of his journey with his son.

Yet, through it all, Alex managed to hold onto his faith in God even during all of his trials. You will feel the challenges and difficulties he honestly shares on the pages of his book. The journey still continues as the reader will see and feel through each chapter.
