Forgive Me, Ron — cover

I was ten years old when I realized that midnight could hurt you, that a house can have walls and still not feel safe.

The Book

Forgive Me, Ron

At ten, Ron watched his stepfather nearly kill his mother. Before the Navy, before the pulpit, before anyone called him strong, he was a child forced to survive, trying to protect his mom. Forgive Me, Ron is a reckoning with silence, and an invitation to healing for anyone still carrying the burden of shame.

I took a seat in the circle. The metal chair screeched against the floor covering like it was protesting the weight of what was coming.

Before Ron ever felt safe, he had to survive.

Forgive Me, Ron is a memoir born from lived experience: childhood trauma, violence, faith, silence, military service, spiritual leadership, and the quiet cost of surviving for decades. This is not a book about falling apart. It is about what survival costs, and what it takes to reclaim a life buried beneath strength.
