Wholeheartedly embrace yourself.

…Your feats and defeats. Your boldness and uncertainties. Listen to your heartbeat. You are enough.

​

This book is not for the fainthearted. The Boy, The Tree & The Trench takes a good hard look at the culturally constructed ways men are expected to stay within their self-belittling behaviours. David’s candid approach exposes the traps men find themselves in.

​

Many circumstances pitted themselves against David. Abandonment and an abusive upbringing landed him in a deep place of self-perceived failure. Dave learned to rise above his situation through courageous openness and vulnerability. His heartfelt writings point to freedom that will give flight to your wings. 

​

This fast-moving book, full of surprising  twists and turns, will challenge your mindset and bring you to a new level of trust in a Father that has your back.
