Through Hell
An Unwanted Boy, an Unbreakable Man
Forthcoming from Post Hill Press
Surviving the people who hurt you is one thing. Living with what they left behind is another.
Through Hell tells the story of a boy raised in neglect, violence, abandonment, and chaos, and what happens when that boy grows into a man carrying wounds he never asked for.
Because abuse doesn't always end when the abuser is gone. It follows people into relationships, fatherhood, trust, anger, and the way they see themselves. The people who caused the damage may move on. The people who survived it are often left carrying the weight.
From childhood homelessness and trauma to military service, marriage, and fatherhood, Eric Uddin confronts the lasting cost of survival and the difficult work of building a life beyond it.
This isn't a story about forgiveness or pretending the past didn't happen. It's about refusing to let the people who hurt you determine the person you become.
Surviving was never the end of the story. What came after mattered just as much.
