Publisher's Synopsis
"hope when it's hardest..." Picking up right where he left off, HERE IN PROGRESS is AJ's ode to such growth. Inside is a collection of poetry and prose, bound by the prospect of progress and inspired by the journey we all take to find the better parts of ourselves. Each page is a real-time thought or moment in a deeply personal adventure that explores concepts like acceptance, love, and hope for a brighter future. Unafraid to meet us where we are, HERE IN PROGRESS addresses a number of essential topics. From self-worth, to one's role in changing their world for the better, this book is meant to start within and, throughout, help readers access tools that may assist in their effort to learn to accept themselves as they are, but love themselves for who they can be... always from the inside-out. In other words, HERE IN PROGRESS is about learning to take joy in the process of change. It's about learning to love oneself and the world, as it is... all the while, working toward a greater tomorrow. It's about learning to take pride in our progress, each and every day.
