Rising From The Ruin by Lance Hughes

Rising From The Ruin By Lance Hughes "I didn't just lose my way; I lost the map, the compass, and the ground beneath my feet." Born and raised in the dirt of western Ohio, Lane Hodges spent years living at the intersection of addiction, music, and the relentless search for something more. In this raw and unflinching memoir, author Lance Hughes chronicles the "architecture of the ruin"—the moments when everything falls apart—and the grueling, beautiful process of building something new from the wreckage. From the high-stakes silence of horse show rings and the grit of factory lines to the quiet miracles of fatherhood, Rising From The Ruin is more than a story about one man’s struggle. It is a blue-collar anthem for anyone who has ever felt like they were too far gone to be fixed. It is a testament to the fact that while the wind can destroy, it can also carry us home. A story of faith, family, and the legacy we leave for the ones we love.
