From the bestselling author of Love Lives Here comes a deeply
personal memoir about facing  lifelong trauma head on, and bravely healing the scars that endure. One Sunny Afternoon is a profoundly moving and candid account of how trauma can shape us, but not define us, and reveals how even in our darkest moments – and on our most hopeless days – light can find its way in.

One Sunny Afternoon (2023)

Love Lives Here was the story of his family’s journey of love and acceptance, when both Rowan’s child and partner came out as transgender. Their tale was embraced by readers everywhere. Yet in the spring of 2020, Rowan began to experience targeted attacks on social media; the intensity of the backlash drove him to contemplate suicide. But instead of taking his life, one sunny afternoon, he went to the hospital to seek help.
