Here is an excerpt from the review by Rahul Gaur of the Hollywood Book Reviews:
“One of the book’s strengths is McMillan’s skill in seamlessly blending profound moments with everyday experiences. From the heart-wrenching loss in “Burnin’ Down the House” to the intriguing encounter with an alien in “An Unforgivable Deed,” each chapter is a brushstroke painting, a vivid canvas of a life filled with darkness and light.
The portrayal is a reflection of both personal experiences and the human condition. It touches upon themes of family, resilience, mental health, and the relentless passage of time. McMillan’s introspective musings add depth to the narrative, inviting readers to contemplate their journeys and the lessons woven into the tapestry of their lives.
One cannot help but be moved by the author’s courage in sharing the deeply personal, sometimes painful, moments from his life experiences. His writing style is candid and unapologetic, allowing readers to connect deeply. It’s a reminder that in our shared vulnerability, we find strength. While some chapters delve into darker aspects of life, a prevailing sense of hope and resilience underlies the narrative. In the depths of despair, it’s crucial to remember that a tiny gleam of hope can illuminate our path.
The author finishes the book by talking about his early life and admitting he made some not-so-smart choices when he was young. He promises to be more daring in his next book, focusing on his experiences as a young adult. This book is more than a memoir. It’s a powerful tribute to human strength. It encourages us to think about our journeys, the challenges we’ve faced, and the beauty that comes from tough times.”
