Allen: A Firefighter's Journey Through PTSD and Healing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798869368546)

On a cold December night in 2019, Keith Hanks sits crying in his basement with a gun in his hands. Gripped by guilt, shame, and a life filled with pain and torment, he makes a decision that changes the course of his life and others. He pulls the trigger. What happens next is nothing short of a miracle.

Allen is a journey through the life of a man plagued by astronomical trauma and adversity. From a young child who faced multiple forms of abuse and bullying, to a man who ran into danger as a firefighter and EMT, Keith's life is filled with many challenges. The other constant is his overwhelming ability to survive and overcome.

Through resilience and a hardened soul, Keith takes his inner demons and turns the tables on them, using his story to help others. He shows not only his fellow first responders but the world that within relentless trauma and pain, there lies an unmatchable strength and drive to live a better life.
