Based on real-life story, Nobody Would Listen is a heart-breaking memoir of a child addicted to opiates that nearly killed him.
It’s late December 1979. Just a few hours after birth, life turned for the worst and he nearly dies. After two weeks in the hospital clinging onto life by the grace of God, Ray and his mother leave Washington State. When they arrive in California, a life-threatening illness took hold of his life. After being rushed to the hospital and against all odds, he survives. In the ensuing days, his mother abandoned him, and his grandparents took him in as their own.
At a young age, he knew his mother was cruel and he trusted his beloved grandmother to protect him from her. Without his grandmother, he wouldn’t have survived. His childhood life turned into a living hell when he fell victim to child abuse and searched for vices to mask his emotions. When alcohol addiction took hold of him, he’d contemplate suicide as he transitioned into his late teens. An inspiring story that digs deep into the darkest mind of a child, and how he came through the other side of abuse and addiction.
Mark is a genius at what he does. I’ve been searching for someone to design my cover for a while. He delivered much more than I could imagine; the cover is phenomenal. He’s very professional and understands how to communicate his designs to the right audience. Beyond amazing work!
