Plot Summary
What happens when the people you love the most… vanish from your life?
Estrangement is not just a story. It’s a raw, soul-baring, open-letter memoir from John Edwards—a father, ex-husband, and now, a man left with nothing but silence.
This is the follow-up to What a Tale My Thoughts Will Tell, where John first opened the doors to his past. But Estrangement hits deeper. It’s not just reflection—it’s a plea. A heart-wrenching attempt to reconnect with his adult children and the woman he once called the love of his life.
No sugar-coating. No playing victim. Just brutal honesty.
John dives headfirst into the storm of divorce, generational gaps, and emotional misfires that led to the collapse of his once-whole family. He owns his flaws—his workaholic tendencies, his absence, his emotional blind spots—but refuses to give up on love, accountability, and redemption.
He doesn’t write to be right. He writes to be understood.
Blending personal storytelling with deep philosophical insights, real-world psychology, and the kind of spiritual reflection that only comes from staring down the void—Estrangement is a journey through the gut-punch reality of being cut off… and the grace it takes to keep holding on anyway.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking “What happened to us?”
If you’ve ever longed for a second chance that may never come…
This book was written for you.
