“You’ll be dead or in prison by the time you’re eighteen.”
Born into a family of addicts and abusers, Nick Darland knows what it’s like to be stuck inside chaos. Physical and psychological trauma fill his childhood. He self-medicates with alcohol and adrenaline. No one—including him—thinks he will amount to anything.
For years he is homeless, penniless, and often hopeless. Then, one memorable winter night, Nick the victim dies. Nick who holds his own power is born.
Power in Chaos is the unlikely story of a boy who comes from nothing to become a self-made man—and the bright lights in his dark world that make it possible.
Darland’s story is one of navigating life’s challenges with courage, perseverance, and grace. From overcoming obstacles to embracing change, Power in Chaos illustrates what can happen when you harness the chaos of life and emerge stronger, wiser, and more empowered than ever before.
