This is not a comeback story.

It's a record of what happened.

If Anybody Asks I've Left the Planet traces a life shaped by instability, addiction, incarceration, and grief?and the long, uneven process of surviving it. Moving through small towns, broken systems, and moments of reckoning, the author tells the truth without softening it.

At the center is family: what you inherit, what you lose, and what never really lets go. Especially the loss of a brother, whose presence lingers in ways that can't be explained or resolved.

This memoir doesn't offer lessons or easy closure. It documents repetition, consequences, and the quiet determination it takes to keep going when there's no clean ending in sight.

Written for adult readers, this book is for those who understand that survival isn't heroic?and that sometimes the most honest victory is simply still being here.
