David Wahl: Resilience, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Resilience is an autobiographical novel about survival, identity, love, trauma, and the complicated work of learning how to live with yourself after everything you thought would break you.

David Wahl tells his story from childhood through adulthood, tracing a life shaped by family, insecurity, being outed before he was ready, abusive and unhealthy relationships, betrayal, sexuality, reinvention, marriage, financial hardship, depression, and the repeated expectation that he should simply keep going. Along the way, he examines not only what happened to him, but also his own choices, mistakes, emotions, and responsibility.

At the center of the book is a question: What does resilience really mean when surviving no longer feels inspirational?

Raw, reflective, and deeply personal, Resilience rejects the idea that every painful experience must lead to a perfect lesson or triumphant ending. Instead, it explores the shadows people carry, the love that helps illuminate them, and the difficult realization that staying true to yourself may be one of the most important forms of survival.

Resilience is a story about continuing-not because everything eventually becomes easy, but because life keeps asking us to find the light even when we are not sure where it is.
