David Glover unpacks his life’s path in his memoir Born Out of Pain. To understand how he arrived at his current place in his life, he had to go to the beginning. His only escape was a dysfunctional church and his rocky relationship with God. After he left his hometown, David was constantly plagued by his dreams about traumatic occurrences in his childhood and memories from his past that he suppressed. The memories he couldn’t deal with began to seep from the dark hidden places into the light of his consciousness, and his tormenting thoughts moved into his dreams.

Even Better Than the First Book!
I loved the first book, but Return to Demeter: Volume 2 takes everything to the next level! The story is darker and more intense, but still full of adventure and teamwork. The mystery behind the past kidnappings and the hidden threats on Demeter kept me guessing. Ryder’s determination to save his sister added an emotional weight that made this story unforgettable. If you like sci-fi adventures with great character dynamics, you’ll love this book!
