Naked (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798330597307)

NAKED is the powerful conclusion to Derrick Solano's trilogy of memoirs, tying together the raw truths of I Won't Break and the transformative lessons of Vexture. In this deeply personal and unflinchingly honest book, Derrick brings his journey full circle, stepping out of the shadows of a pseudonym and into the light of his authentic self. After decades of hiding behind an alias as a successful psychic, Derrick makes the bold decision to retire that name, choosing to live unapologetically as himself. This decision is more than symbolic-it is the final step in a lifetime of healing, allowing him to break free from secrecy and embrace a life of true liberation.

Through heartfelt storytelling, NAKED weaves together Derrick's past and present. He reflects on the chaos of his early years, the resilience built through trauma, and the peace he has found in the quiet life he now shares with his husband, Anthony, and their eight beloved dogs. Each dog has their own chapter, celebrating the profound love and healing they've brought into his life. Derrick also delves into his music, exploring the stories behind his five deeply personal songs that have become anthems of survival and strength.

This book doesn't just revisit the pain of the past-it celebrates the joy of the present. Derrick reflects on letting go of insecurities, leaving toxic relationships behind, and finding peace in simplicity. In choosing love, loyalty, and a quiet life centered on those who truly see him, Derrick shows readers the beauty of living authentically. With every page, he challenges readers to embrace their own scars, shed their masks, and live boldly.

NAKED is more than a memoir; it's a call to action for anyone ready to let go of fear and step into their truth. With raw vulnerability, humor, and unfiltered wisdom, Derrick Solano shows us all that the final stage of healing is living without apologies, without masks, and without fear. It's about living NAKED.
