He carried everything he owned in black trash bags.

Black Trash Bags is a two-part memoir of survival and transformation.

In Book 1: Survival, Mark shares his childhood growing up in poverty, facing trauma, abuse, and instability while learning what it takes to endure when life offers no safety net.

In Book 2: Becoming, his journey continues beyond survival into healing, identity, and rebuilding a life after trauma. Through military service, relationships, addiction, mental health struggles, and love, he begins to find meaning and a path forward.

Together, these books tell a powerful story of resilience, loss, and hope.

This is not just a story about trauma.
