How to Repaint a Life
Steven Herrick
Isaac is running from his old life when he steps off the bus in a small town. He doesn’t plan on sticking around and has nowhere to stay, but a local café owner’s kindness offers him a chance to change his story. Then Isaac meets Sophie and learns he’s not the only one wanting to repaint his life.
As he did so masterfully with The Simple Gift, Steven Herrick delves into the universal themes of rising above the past and taking control of your future.
His verse has the ability to instantly put you in someone else's shoes with very few words.
Herrick is an expert writer.
