Veteran. Father. Survivor.

David Anthony has lived a life most people would call impossible to survive — and fewer still would be willing to tell.
A veteran, a father, a man who spent decades running from the one thing he couldn't outrun, David writes the way he lives: unfiltered, unpolished, and completely without apology.
He didn't set out to write a book. A therapist told him to put it all down on paper — then burn it. He burned most of it. Years later, while cleaning out a garage and packing up a life he was ready to leave behind, he found a thumb drive he thought was gone. What was on it changed everything.
David currently lives in Arizona. He is, by his own account, still a work in progress.
"The past doesn't stay buried. It learns how to wait."

A Memoir by David Anthony — published by Redemption Press.
It started with a phone call. Not the kind that changes everything in the moment. The kind you only recognize later as the moment everything already changed.
A veteran and father who survived things he still can't fully explain — and finally stopped pretending he could. Raw, unfiltered, and written with the kind of precision that only comes from having lived it.
This is not a story about getting it right. It is about what happens when you do not, and what follows you anyway.
"Survival is not the same thing as living. I learned the difference the hard way."
