BORN A FIGHTER

About the Book

Ryan Smith’s soul-touching memoir chronicles the highlights and low lights of the renowned author’s life, including the devastating loss of his unborn child that nearly destroyed him and his fierce road to publishing his first two books—a fascinating never-before-told-in-full story of personal struggles and success in life by the man himself. Before releasing two books Poeticman and Motives and Thoughts of a battered soul, things were different for Ryan Smith. But the dark side of his early childhood/school years took its toll: his battle with depression, ADHD almost drove him to suicide. Constant battle with low self-esteem and confidence. A reckoning did not truly come until he was forced to face mortality. In this brave, driving memoir, Smith ruminates on tough circumstances, childhood, death, loss, and redemption, sharing his life story of 26 years worth of hard-earned insights. His pulsating memoir is as raw as his acclaimed writing style. It brings to a close the first chapters of a well-earned life, inspiring friends and others to follow the rhythms of their own hearts and find happiness in their lives.
