For seventeen-year-old Kale Jackson, life has never been easy. In fact, for someone his age, it's as bad as it could get. Despite his attempts to remain somewhat optimistic about his plight, the relentless bullying he faces at school, and the deplorable conditions he's forced to live in fight him at every angle. If not for his roommates and devoted boss, he may have bit the bullet. Literally.
When an unforeseen event forces things to change, however, his guarded heart struggles to accept that his life might be turning around. Especially knowing that he's in no position to try and make anything better for himself or anyone else. Feeling cornered and hopeless, Kale commits to killing himself.
It might take the right person, at just the right time, to bring him back to life and show him that a little faith, a little love, goes a long way in mending a broken spirit and a cold heart. Even his.

All That Was Left of Me
He was lost. Worn down by the past, unsure of the future. But even in the silence, something greater was calling. This is a story about grace, healing, and the love that never lets go. Content Note: This story includes themes of grief and healing following the death of a loved one by suicide (not depicted on the page), as well as scenes involving a serious car accident, medical trauma, and emotional distress in a hospital setting. Reader care is encouraged. Author's Note: This story is very personal to me. Growing up, I experienced deep struggles with depression. I'm grateful to say that I no longer carry those thoughts, but those moments shaped me-and they left behind a softness in my heart for anyone who is hurting in silence. I wrote this book to explore the grief that often goes unspoken, the quiet battles people face, and the power of showing up for someone-even when they seem like a stranger. Sometimes the people who seem "attention-seeking" are actually crying out for help the only way they know how. I've been there. And I know how much it matters when someone chooses to care anyway. At the heart of this story is my faith. I believe in God wholeheartedly, and it's His love that carried me through my darkest seasons. This book is a reflection of that-of how God gives us second chances, how He sits with us in the pain, and how He brings healing even when everything feels broken. If you're hurting, please know this: you are not alone. There is hope. There is help. And there is a God who sees you, loves you, and wants to carry you through. Please reach out: U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Available 24/7, completely free, and confidential. You can also talk to a trusted friend, family member, pastor, counselor, or anyone who can walk with you through the darkness. There's no shame in needing support. Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do.Complete
