From the Piney Woods (2nd Edition)

From the Piney Woods by PJ Hamilton is a raw and redemptive memoir about growing up unseen in rural East Texas — where hunger, neglect, and silence shaped a childhood, and small moments of kindness changed everything. Interwoven throughout the book are unfiltered journal entries shared every few chapters, offering an intimate window into the author’s inner world as the story unfolds. Through vivid storytelling and hard-earned wisdom, PJ Hamilton reveals how a painful past doesn’t define us — it prepares us.
