When Allen Weaver began writing his book, he never thought it would take 10 years to complete. “God definitely had a sense of humor,” he says. His autobiographical anthology, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers, offers a candid account of Allen’s self-discovery, tributes to family and friends, poems, short stories and essays about culture and society. He writes about his own attempted suicide and journey back to hope; he filters each entry through a God-inspired lens and unadorned commentary on life.
