Just Released! Betrayed: My Body is Killing Me

This book is a compelling read from start to finish. I highly recommend this book for those who have experienced addiction, abuse, depression, PTSD and difficult life challenges. The brightness of this writing is that all can overcome challenges in life and find true happiness regardless of your circumstances. The author has such insight into life as he takes us on a journey from his childhood to his current life’s circumstance. The accounts in the book touched my heart, made me laugh and helped me understand life more fully. The world needs more people like David Brown!! Buy the book!!!

This is a beautiful book. For anyone who hasn’t read it, Daddy had to say Goodbye is a must read. This book will touch your heart from the beginning to the end. I couldn’t put it down.

Resilient, the one word that leaps from pages of this solid book is that of one learning to how to survive and becoming resilient. From the early pages of this book to the early years of Clinton Flanagan’s life, hardship came early and often for this boy turned man throughout his journey. From the cold and lonely nights that swept through Clinton’s childhood home, to the cold and lonely nights of relationships that continued to sweep through Clinton’s early adulthood. Instead of making excuses for this treatment, as many of today’s generation would surely do, Clinton bears his hardships like a badge of courage, later turning this badge of courage into a badge of service and action for others. Much like the Blacksmith’s of old, forging raw metal, thrust into the fire and later beaten down many times, only until it is strong enough, Clinton endures and comes out the other side of his journey a much stronger man for it. What can be learned from the couple hundred pages of this great book (that I couldn’t put down once I started to read it, thinking the last chapter surely had to be the worst challenge faced by Flanagan)? My reading of this book, took me on an adventure of soul searching of both Flanagan and myself. Only when you finish this great book will you truly understand why “Daddy Had to Say Goodbye.”

This book is a must read for anyone who is dealing with problems from Child Abuse and neglect, depression, Ptsd and various other problems. It shows the struggles of a man who has been through these terrible things but never loses his ability to feel empathy and love for others and how he helps others as a paramedic and police officer. I found much in this book I could identify with and I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I’ve known David for many years. He has always spoken exactly what was on his mind. His honesty and no nonsense approach to life is well documented in this book. I personally spent time with David in the EMS field. His ability to relive, and take us with him are raw and emotionally charged. Even though we spent many, many hours together both off and on duty… I learned more about how he became the person he is today from reading this insightful and well-written book. It is not only my pleasure to know him but to highly recommend this book as an addition to your library. You cannot read this without being moved and share in his life experiences. Ryc Lyden
