Story4 out of 5 stars 624
My name is Brett. I'm a college-educated man who was once a husband of 26 years with two children, three businesses, and a large home with an actual white picket fence. I'm also a drug addict. And I have a tale to tell. It's about the despair of addiction and the absolute certainty that it can be overcome. Recovery is not simply abstinence, but a process of growing up. I spent my entire life searching for the key to long-term sobriety. I would like to share with you what I have learned.

Story5 out of 5 stars 66
Growing up in rural Oregon, Brandon Wolf grappled with the devastating loss of his supportive mother and with the embedded racism and homophobia of a community that made him feel like an unwelcome stranger. After the lack of connection and role models led him down a spiral of risky behavior, Wolf escaped to survive. In Orlando, he found what he’d been searching for: belonging—in a community that was a safe space with people he’d come to call his chosen family.

“A Place For Us”
Reviewed: 07-09-23
I am so very touched by your book “A Place For Us”. My first thought after reading your book was that you must become a Senator, Congressman or President! I loved the courageous young boy you were to the exquisite man you have become. I was meant to read your memoir & wish I could meet you someday in my lifetime. My family lives in Orlando. My name is Marsha Brody & I live in Weston, FL. My heroes are few (mostly family) and you, Sir. Thank you for sharing you with me🙏

Paul was an unsung hero & a tragic loss to humanity for what he would have contributed. His wife was a heroine to me. Thank you for this deeply profound writing.
