Shattered Illusions

A Memoir by Devin White

Shattered Illusions is the story of my family, my mother, and the years that changed the way I understood both.

I wrote it to make sense of what happened, but somewhere along the way, it became something more-a record of grief, memory, love, and the complicated people behind the roles we call Mom and Dad.

I chose to make this book free to read. If you are here, you are welcome to it.
