Glimpse

We contain so much.

You, me, all of us. We’re so full of mysteries, dreams, and potential, we each carry an entire world inside. And every day, we offer part of it to the people in our lives. A glimpse. We exchange glimpses that are powerful and life-changing.

This book collection contains the glimpses that have shaped my life. It's me. I wrote it for all of us who share the feelings in these pages, so if you recognize parts of yourself, know this book is for you. It’s for the moments we’ve dared to love, and dared to dream. For the moments we’ve felt alone, and like there's nowhere we fit in. It's for the moments of heartbreak, when the entire world seems lost. It’s for the electric moments of hope. And it's for the special people in all our lives who dare us to offer more than a glimpse.

A combination of true stories, poetry, and short essays, Glimpse is the pain of a child growing up feeling unworthy in the world. It's two strangers meeting and falling in love right as a hurricane is about to hit them in New York City. It's one man's attempt to honor women and his relationship. And it's an exploration of beauty, and what makes someone beautiful.

It's a glimpse of me, but I know you will find one of you, too.
