Grace: A Memoir Of Survival & Redemption
About this ebook
But for Allen DeKeyser, grace wasn’t a quote. It was the only way he survived.
Told in unfiltered first-person, GRACE is a gripping, story-driven journey through trauma, triggers, marriage, and the brutal work of staying human when your nervous system wants war. From red lights that still feel dangerous to public spaces that still test his breath, Allen pulls the reader into the moment-by-moment reality of healing—where the past doesn’t disappear, but it stops owning the future.
With his wife Marqueta beside him and his service dog Harley anchoring him to the present, Allen learns that grace doesn’t erase scars—it redeems them. This isn’t a polished testimony. It’s a living one.
Because sometimes the biggest miracle isn’t a life without pain.
It’s the quiet strength to whisper, “Here,” and come back anyway.
