MY MISSION

Every ending is a door. Every breath, a beginning.

Alex’s life once made sense—a quiet rhythm, a deep love, a sense of place. Until everything changed in a instant. Grief left her untethered, drifting through a world she no longer recognized.

So she leaves.

She arrives in a land of mountains and marigolds, of whispered Spanish and sunlit stone. In the hush of dawn and the ache of memory, she begins again—writing letters to those she’s lost, walking through unfamiliar streets, and planting the first fragile seeds of healing.

Here, beneath volcano skies, nothing looks the same. And slowly…everything begins to grow—even the kind of love she never saw coming.

Canche is a novel of loss and light, of beauty born from brokenness. It’s a story about choosing to live, even when your map is gone. About how love doesn’t vanish when people do—it changes shape, waits patiently, and finds you when you’re ready.

For anyone who’s had to begin again, for anyone still carrying love like a lantern in the dark—this story is yours.

Not everything shattered needs repair.

Some things are meant to bloom in new soil.

This book is a raw and unflinching journey through trauma, healing, and redemption. It is not just a story—it is a battle cry for those who have felt the weight of their past dragging them down. The author lays bare a life shaped by hardship, from the scars of a difficult childhood to the harrowing realities of military service and law enforcement. Each experience left its mark, building walls of unprocessed pain that isolated him from others—and from himself.

Through gripping and deeply personal stories—witnessing the death of a child as a police officer, the heartbreak of young love, and the soul-shaking horrors of war—the book exposes the lasting impact of unresolved trauma on relationships, faith, and self-identity. But more than recounting the wounds, it uncovers the cycles of hurt that keep people trapped in dysfunction, especially in the most intimate aspects of life.

Drawing on powerful insights from Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, the author illustrates how unhealed wounds manifest in destructive patterns—pushing away those we love most. He doesn’t just tell his story; he holds up a mirror, forcing readers to confront their own pain, their own walls, and their own role in breaking free. With searing honesty, he acknowledges his own failures, not as excuses, but as lessons—proving that healing requires both courage and accountability.

This book is more than a reflection on the past—it is an urgent call to action. It challenges readers to take responsibility for their own healing, to stop running from pain, and to reclaim the life they were meant to live. Through faith, vulnerability, and a relentless pursuit of growth, the author shows that redemption is not a distant hope—it is a choice, waiting to be made. No matter how deep the wounds, no matter how broken the past, there is always a path forward. This book lights the way.

What if the real reason your relationship is struggling isn’t because of a lack of love—but because of too many assumptions?

Most relationships don’t break from betrayal. They slowly erode under the weight of unspoken expectations, misunderstood needs, and silent resentment. We assume our partner knows what we want. We assume we’re on the same page. We assume love will carry us through.

But assumptions are the cracks in the foundation. And without repair, they grow.

In Assumptions Into Agreements-The Key to Thriving Relationships, you’ll discover how to stop building your relationship on guesswork and start creating one grounded in clarity, connection, and purpose. Through powerful storytelling, real-world insights, and practical guidance, this book will help you and your partner replace emotional shortcuts with intentional agreements that bring peace, trust, and long-term strength.

You’ll learn how to navigate conflict without turning against each other, how to speak your needs without fear, and how to stop drifting apart—by choosing to walk forward together.

Whether you’re dating, married, or somewhere in between, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about what makes love last.

Because love isn’t lost in loud fights.

It’s lost in quiet assumptions.

And it’s saved by courageous agreements.
