From the Publisher:
Reading the manuscript of David Harris's Unbound was a transformative experience for me. As the Publisher of Lighthouse Books, I have the privilege of encountering many riveting stories, but Unbound stood out for its powerful narrative, eloquent prose, and profound insights into the human condition.
Harris's memoir chronicles his extraordinary journey of self-discovery and personal growth, beginning with his childhood as the son of a prominent civil rights attorney in the turbulent 1960s. Against the backdrop of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, Harris navigates the complexities of his own identity, grappling with issues of race, class, and the societal expectations placed upon him.
What sets this memoir apart is the author's unflinching honesty and vulnerability. Harris does not shy away from the darker moments of his past, including his struggles with addiction and the fractured relationships that threatened to derail his life. Yet, throughout the narrative, there is a sense of resilience and an unwavering determination to confront his demons and emerge stronger.
The reader is taken on an intimate and often heart-wrenching journey as Harris explores themes of belonging, forgiveness, and the power of self-acceptance. His vivid descriptions and lyrical prose transport us to the different settings that shaped his life, from the bustling streets of San Francisco to the serene landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Unbound is the way Harris seamlessly weaves together personal anecdotes with broader societal and historical contexts. He skillfully navigates the intersections of race, class, and privilege, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on the ongoing struggle for equality and justice.
As the Publisher, I was deeply moved by Harris's ability to find beauty and meaning in the midst of adversity. His journey serves as a powerful testament to the transformative power of self-reflection and the importance of embracing one's authentic self.
Unbound is a remarkable achievement, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of storytelling. I am honored to share this exceptional memoir with our readers, and I am confident that it will leave a lasting impact on all who experience it.
