TORN: A Journey Between Culture, Identity, and Success is a raw, personal memoir about surviving split identity, childhood pain, military discipline, cultural pressure, trauma, music, faith, and the long road back to self. Rolando Howard III writes with the voice of a Marine Corps combat veteran, musician, entrepreneur, and coach who has lived through survival mode and learned how to rebuild from the inside out. This book follows the journey from childhood confusion and “dis-abuse,” to the mask, the Marine Corps, the breaking point, and the process of becoming whole. TORN is for anyone who has ever felt like they had to become someone else just to survive. It is a story about identity, discipline, culture, healing, self-trust, and learning that everything you thought was missing may have already been inside you.
