    “Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.” – Stokely Carmichael 
    In the late 1960s, Stokely Carmichael would become one of the most influential and controversial figures in America, founding and leading new organizations while being meticulously shadowed by the country’s national security apparatus, particularly J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. The attention would ultimately compel him to move to Africa, where he changed his name to Kwame Ture and became one of the world’s most famous Pan-African leaders until his death in Guinea in 1998.  
    Since then, he has remained a subject of both praise and criticism, from contemporaries and historians alike. SNCC Chairman Phil Hutchings, despite being the one who pushed Carmichael out of the organization, aptly summed up the dichotomy: "Even though we kidded and called him 'Starmichael', he could sublimate his ego to get done what was needed to be done....He would say what he thought, and you could disagree with it but you wouldn't cease being a human being and someone with whom he wanted to be in relationship."

    When Kathryn Leigh Scott's husband, Geoff, was diagnosed with a terminal illness, she had to become his caregiver. As powerless as she was to stop the effects of the disease, she needed to be there for him. She wanted to be. And as much as she hated to admit it, the situation was taking its toll.
     
     
    Stressed out, isolated from friends, and emotionally and physically exhausted, Kathryn joined a caregiver support group. This circle of empathetic new friends encouraged her to recapture her own sense of being. With their help, she learned that the best way to care for Geoff was to take care of herself as well. It became a welcome respite…and a necessary one.

    Becoming Whole is the raw, unfiltered testimony of a man who has lived many lives—and is finally telling the truth about all of them. 
    Born into the strict world of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Eric Darnell Love grew up navigating silence, complexity, and spiritual pressure long before he understood what freedom really was. As a young Black boy in Chicago, his early years were marked by family struggle, religious rigidity, and the unspoken weight of trying to survive emotionally while everyone expected him to stay strong. 
    When he left home as a teenager to start over in Minnesota, Eric discovered resilience he didn’t know he had. His journey took him through military service in the United States Air Force, early fatherhood, marriage, divorce, and eventually into a second marriage that has lasted fourteen years—one filled with deep love, challenges, emotional disconnect, healing, and the hard work of rebuilding trust. 
    A 100% disabled veteran living with PTSD, anxiety, and the emotional aftermath of service and trauma, Eric writes with honesty and a voice that is unpolished on purpose. His story is not sanitized. It is not softened. It is true. 
    In this first volume of his memoir series, Eric shares:Growing up as a child in Jehovah’s WitnessesNavigating family dysfunction, loyalty, and the search for identityBecoming a husband and father while battling trauma, responsibility, and expectationsThe quiet grief of losing loved ones—and the strength required to keep goingHis battle to reclaim his voice, his faith, his emotional freedom, and his manhoodHis awakening—spiritually, mentally, and relationally—as he learns what it means to truly become whole 
    This is the story of a man who carried everyone’s burdens but his own for far too long… 
    and finally chose healing over silence.
