Pivoting From Blue: One Year of Death, Divorce & Discovery

Pivoting From Blue is the raw, gut-wrenching, and often hysterical story of Skip Van Gardner, a man who endured a year in which life seemed determined to break him completely. Facing the simultaneous collision of personal upheaval, a dying parent, an Alzheimer's parent, a crisis of faith, and the terrifying phenomenon known as Psychological Death, Van Gardner found himself in a place so empty he no longer knew who he was or what he was in this world. Written with the unvarnished honesty of a man who has nothing left to lose and everything to find, this story moves between the harrowing and the absurd with startling agility. From a life-threatening Atlantic crossing to hospice hallways, courtrooms of the mind, and the strange grace of painting with a keyboard, this is a story about what happens when you stop trying to outrun the storm and choose to face it head-on.
