On May 6, 2025, registered nurse Justin Lee Sabo survived a seventy-mile-per-hour rollover crash that should have killed him. He walked away believing the worst was over-until, months later, his life began to fall apart in ways that no test, doctor, or medication could explain.
Memory loss. Mood crashes. Emotional chaos.
A desperate search for answers no one seemed willing to see.
What Justin didn't know was that he was living with a delayed traumatic brain injury hiding in the shadows of his recovery. And in the middle of that descent-when he felt most broken, abandoned, and unseen-something extraordinary happened:
He started writing music.
Not one song. Not ten songs.
But 566 songs in roughly 120 days, including dozens written in a single sitting.
Before the accident, Justin had no musical ability. After the accident, music became the thing that kept him alive. It became his therapy, his outlet, his language when words failed. It became the only place where the chaos finally made sense.
I Shouldn't Be Here is the true story of how trauma, faith, music, and survival collided. It's about the fight for answers, the fight to stay alive, and the fight to believe that a life rebuilt could be better than the one that shattered.
Raw. Honest. Emotional.
This book is for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or lost in their own darkness.
And it's proof that sometimes the miracle isn't surviving the crash...
it's who you become afterward.
