My house collapsed, but the foundation remembers.

When a child dies, the world doesn't just stop-it shatters.

In his follow-up to The Long Walk to Freedom, Derrick Collins offers a raw, 90-day roadmap for navigating the unthinkable. The Roots Beneath the Ruins is a self-help guide forged in the fire of Derrick's own first three months of loss. From the shattered glass of Day 1 to the quiet bloom of Day 90, Collins walks alongside you through the practical necessities, the hurricane of rage, and the weight of silence. This is more than a memoir; it is a tactical manual for surviving the acute phase of grief when every breath feels like a battle.

Whether you are struggling to affirm the connection of others or fighting the temptation to escape, Collins's words serve as a steadying stone. This is a book for anyone who needs the courage to rise under a sky that has changed forever.

Derrick Collins was born and raised in Oakland, CA, and now resides in Arizona. He is an author of two books, and has worked in the behavioral health field for 15+ years. Derrick is a father, and a harboror of grief and child loss. He has walked the long walk to freedom, and built a foundation of strength and determination from the roots up.
