Take your Dramamine and prepare for a rough crossing; journeys to the dark side and back are seldom smooth. Though at times disquieting, No Comfort is a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience even in the face of life's most harrowing and devastating experiences. Unflinching in his portrayal of child abuse, ever mindful that the past never goes away, yet adamant that hope is eternal, Dan Pietsch takes readers through the bleakness of childhood in a dysfunctional family, the exuberance of first love, the heartbreak of overwhelming loss, and finally to a safe harbor of reconciliation and forgiveness.
