About

This book takes its reader on a journey through the depressed mind of a black man as he navigates through a heart-wrenching breakup. It destroys the myth that men lack emotion and the ability to get in touch with their feelings. It also displays the blurred lines between the author's factual reality and his depressed reality. This is a memoir of trauma, pain, internal analysis and self-discovery, wrapped around a detailed, compelling story.

The title "Runaway Train" describes the author's depressed mind as it speeds through self-deprecating, destructive thoughts that challenge his self-worth. While riding the emotional waves, you will see the depths of his despair, struggle, humor, and hope.

The hope is that this story will give you a window into the process of a depressed mind, how powerful the mind is, and where it can take someone.

Experience an inspiring story that challenges mental health stigmas and shares the struggle that far too many people endure. The Runaway Train shows how profoundly depression can grip the mind regardless of who you are and how society perceives you. This is a story of struggle, but also hope and self-actualization.
