THE AUTHOR

Nicolas Strong grew up in poverty, in a family whose Mormon values were starkly juxtaposed to the lives they led. Nicolas felt nothing but rejection and disdain from drug-addicted parents who abused him, belittled him, and took advantage of him, sending him off to the Texas oil fields when he was just eighteen to earn money to help support the family. But after fighting his own demons, overcoming his own addictions, dealing with his own heartbreak, and learning the harshest of life’s lessons, Nicolas found his footing and eventually emerged a successful, happy man. Today, he and his wife, Renee, live in Fredericksburg, Texas, where they enjoy a peaceful and content life and occasional rides on their Harley.
