    About this ebook

    Road 19 is a very real place that represents the beginning foundation of what has become my family.
    And we're not just your typical family either. Some things that were, and are, prevelent in my family stand out as extraordinary for sure.
    Very big highs and debilitating lows have found us in many ways through several generations thus far.
    As honest as I can be about my family’s personal story, I must say, it is fascinating to realize all that took place!
    Yesterday, I was hurt, angry and confused. Today, I am happier and more aware.
    The difference was not created through therapy or found in a church.
    No drugs (prescribed or otherwise) have been used.
    In fact, no external source can be credited.
    One simple, yet complicated to admit reality is all it took.
    Through the creation of this book and my family’s story, I have come to realize…
    True understanding is found far beyond the obvious.
    Childhood exposures set me on a path of adult experiences that have seemed extremely frustrating at times.
    During most of my young adult years, I was simply in denial. I didn’t even want to look at any old family photos.
    Scars were deep, resentments were strong, so I set out to detach myself from my family’s past.
    I did this for a very long time… way too long in fact.
    Now, through the open-minded perspective that has thankfully found me as I have aged, I have looked deep into my family history. Far beyond the obvious that engulfed my attention span for many years, I found a lot of understanding… my understanding. Now, I wish to record a deep and somewhat detailed exposure of our legacy.
    I invite you in to our past. Joe
