Life is not fair. In fact, we are taught from an early age that life does not always go our way. Nonetheless, there are certain times when things seem more bleak than others. Parents split up, loved ones pass away, and those who mean the dearest to us end up breaking our hearts. Essentially, it seems like everything and everyone we love ends up causing us the greatest amount of pain.

Have you ever wondered why your life is so tough? Why the ones you love always seem to break your heart? Why people often make fun of you for no particular reason? 

One of the greatest gifts humans have been given is the ability to love. Love has the power to help us overcome the darkest valleys of our life. 

In this book, Fred Curtis speaks about his life: the pain of growing up in a broken home with a special needs little brother; the heartache that came with losing the love of his life; the valleys associated with depression and anxiety. Fred quickly found that the best way to overcome the perils of life is by loving just as deep as he had been hurt.  

Raw, emotional, powerful and inspirational, A Memoir: on Love and Life shows us how an unrelenting love for family, faith and humanity can help us overcome the most painful aspects of our lives.
