The blind woodsman One man's journey to find his purpose on the other side of darkness : a moving memoir
Book - 2024
"In this inspiring memoir, a renowned woodworker shares how he found happiness despite real-life struggles with drug addiction, anxiety, depression, financial despair, and permanent blindness caused by a failed suicide attempt at the age of sixteen. As John struggled to free himself from addiction, search for his independence, and find his purpose, he met his future wife, Anni, an artist who also faced her own physical and mental health challenges. Together they embarked on a parth built on love and acceptance, using their artistic expression to find joy. This is their story of how challenges and struggles need not define you, rather how they can lead you to find your true vision and purpose"--Page 4 of cover.
