5 Reasons to Live Denise Mathew

Publisher Marketing: 5 Reasons to Live, one reason to die... Guilt can eat you up and swallow you whole. No one knows that better than Abraham Delaney, he's been living with the guilt of a mistake that he made years ago, a mistake that cracked him in half and pushed him over the edge, and away from everything that he once knew. Now, after what feels like a lifetime later, Abraham has a near death experience that takes him to the limits of his mortality. But when he unexpectedly returns to the land of the living, he's left with an inexplicable notion that if he wants to be granted his deepest wish, to die, he must find five reasons to live. Abraham doesn't believe that there's anything left in his life to live for, in fact he would rather fall back into his dark place, one that is filled with drugs, grifting and a personal mantra that says that there's nothing he won't do to get his next high. But as hard as he tries to drift back into the abyss of not caring, pieces of the life he once had keep showing up, shoving him in a new direction, one that he never expected or wanted to take. Before he knows what's happening he's walking back in time, returning to everything that he wanted to forget forever, the good, the bad and the very ugly. Despite doing everything in his power to avoid returning to the past, he progressively works his way back to the moment that changed his life, the exact second that set him on his path of self-destruction. Fear of remembering what he did has been the driving force that has orchestrated every decision he's ever made since then, but when the truth and illusions collide, Abraham is shocked to see that the mistake he thought he made all those years ago might not have been exactly as he imagined. More than that he sees that beneath the multitudes of wrong turns he's made in his life, there were right turns too, and maybe entwined in it all, a reason to live.
