Wow! What an inspiring story of heartbreak, courage, perseverance, the generosity of strangers, the enduring love of family, and living by your own rules. I absolutely devoured this with love, admiration, laughter, tears, and wonder. Thanks for sharing your amazing life!

My father said to me, "Son, you need to make a choice here. We can't have this kind of a situation in our home. If you think you're doing the right thing, then you need to leave and do it your own way. You need to either play the game our way, or get the hell out."
At fourteen, Ray took a raw journey through homelessness, putting himself through high school working multiple jobs, and clawing his way from rock bottom to Marine major to successful executive.
After decades of struggles and successes, Ray faced the hardest mission of his life: reconciling with the father who cast him out and the brother he'd been forced to leave behind.
For anyone who's felt abandoned by family or others, wondered if forgiveness is possible, or questioned whether they're strong enough to rebuild from nothing—Ray's unflinching story proves that sometimes the most devastating endings become the most powerful new beginnings.
