The Long Climb: A Memoir of the Journey from Addiction to Victory with God

In this story of perseverance and the strength of the human spirit, Robert Woods recounts the painful years of his childhood, when he watched his parents recover from a challenging divorce while suffering his own horrendous abuse in secret. By opening up about his abuse and the many years of holding on to hatred and resentment that followed, Robert illustrates that no matter the circumstances, there is always hope. From a high school dropout with a chip on his shoulder to a licensed NYS Education Supervisor with a PhD and an accomplished endurance athlete, Robert shares his story to inspire those who have nothing to lose. Because when you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain.
