The Rule of None

<p>This book was not written easily. It came from lived experience from places that are seldom spoken of and never forgotten. Writing it meant facing what silence once held.</p><p> </p><p>Through it all my wife stood beside me. She read when the words were heavy listened when I had none left and believed when I doubted the worth of continuing. Her patience and steadiness carried me through every difficult page.</p><p> </p><p>The Rule of None was written for those who have found themselves caught in patterns of control or emotional harm where devotion becomes confusion and care turns to fear. It is not a manual or a warning but a story meant to hold a mirror to those moments and to remind anyone who reads it that recognition is the first act of freedom.</p>
