Before the Dawn was born out of a need to try to understand the strangeness that comes right before we make choices in our lives: good or bad, small or huge determinations that can shape our world as we know it. We all walk upon a road that sometimes feels very crowded, and yet very much alone at times. Once again, author L.E. Hastings shares his personal essays, which reflect upon that overwhelming moment towards moving forward. From "Hopeless to Happiness" to "After Night Fall," these essays show that building upon change is what happens regardless of if we show up or not, and that dawn comes to us all on this road of life.
