“This book doesn’t just make you feel–it makes you recalibrate.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A study in how people carry grief, how they adapt to it, and what they do with the space it leaves behind." -Literary Titan
Forgive them. Forgive yourself.
Growing up teaches you who you want to be.
Growing older teaches you who you actually are.
A Pleasant Fiction is a novelistic memoir about what happens when time, loss, and memory force you to look back—at your parents, your past, your beliefs, and yourself—with clearer eyes than you ever wanted.
It’s about the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
And the ones we have to let go.

What this book is
This is not a self-help book.
It’s not a manifesto.
It’s not a neat, linear story.
It’s a lived-in narrative—told the way memory actually works.
Moments overlap.
The past intrudes.
The present keeps cracking open.
The story moves through family, friendship, faith, doubt, regret, humor, and loss—not to solve them, but to sit with them honestly.
Grief changes everything.
So does friendship.
Loss reshapes how you see the past.
Friendship reshapes how you survive it.
Messenger is a self-contained chapter from A Pleasant Fiction—a quiet exchange that captures what this book is really about: the way connection can interrupt grief without erasing it.
It isn’t a trailer.
It isn’t a pitch.
It’s simply a moment.
