About the book

The longer version of the posts. The thinking behind them. The stories that didn't fit inside a caption.

Across twelve chapters, Cullen Wallace writes about the mountain we all find ourselves on at some point — the loss, the dark stretches, the slow and necessary work of moving forward. It is a book about grace, about the people who answer the phone at three in the morning, and about choosing to take the next step anyway.

He has lived every chapter of this book — through the loss of his mother, the long goodbye to his father, and the fight with his own mind.

Cullen Wallace

A speaker, a son, a writer, and the keeper of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Charlie. Cullen has spent years sharing daily reflections from his kitchen — the music playing, the meal being made, the thought he can't quite shake. This book is what happens when those reflections grow into something longer.
