About this audiobook
Ed Pila's twenty-year career as a police officer was marked by violence, trauma, and an unyielding sense of duty. But when the job ended, the real struggle started. Haunted by the horrors of his past and isolated from the ones he loved, Ed found himself drowning in depression and facing a cancer diagnosis.
In Six Feet Away, Ed shares his raw and inspiring journey out of the depths of despair. Through the unexpected embrace of Argentine tango, the unwavering support of a newfound community, and the profound power of faith, Ed discovered a path to recovery and a new purpose in life.
This gripping memoir not only sheds light on the hidden struggles of first responders but also offers hope and practical insights for anyone battling trauma. Six Feet Away is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that, with faith and connection, even the deepest wounds can heal.
