Before Ron ever felt safe, he had to survive.
I AM NOT BREAKING 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.
We are currently publishing I AM NOT BREAKING through WestBow Press, an imprint of Zondervan and Thomas Nelson. This partnership allows the book to be professionally edited, designed, printed, and distributed with care and integrity — but it also comes with significant production costs.
Funds raised will help cover:
Professional publishing and production fees
Editorial and design services
Printing and distribution
Launch and outreach efforts
This book is for anyone who had to grow up too early. Anyone who learned to survive in silence. Anyone carrying trauma — and still wondering if there's a second chance to fulfill purpose.
If you believe stories can heal, truth matters, and survival should not be the final chapter, your support helps place this book into the hands of those who need it most.
Thank you for standing with us.
