After enduring a childhood marked by hardship, Chris transformed his pain into purpose, first through military service, and now through his work as an Environmental, Health, and Safety Coordinator. He lives in Northern Maine, where he finds peace in the northern wilderness and strength in the bonds of family and friendship.When he's not working or writing, Chris enjoys barbecue, storytelling around a fire, and spending time outdoors; whether it's camping, fishing, or just soaking in the silence of the woods. His journey is one of defiance, healing, and ultimately, triumph, and he hopes his story gives voice to others who've been told to stay silent.","brand":"Christopher Waters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52196534616338,"sku":"9798349390425","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_116f3dcd-238b-42aa-9c2b-910a01ad8c8f.jpg?v=1776152627","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-night-i-didnt-flinch-a-boys-tale-of-overcoming-abuse-9798349390425","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
