On September 26, 2002, Joseph Kowalewski’s life changed forever. What began as a routine drug deal turned into a brutal attack that left him fighting for survival after being shot multiple times. With less than a 1% chance of living, Joseph endured a grueling physical and emotional battle to recover, carrying scars, trauma, and the loss of his closest friend.
From a childhood marked by chaos, abuse, and constant upheaval, to the struggles of addiction, violence, and legal troubles, Joseph’s story reveals the harsh realities behind survival in the face of unimaginable odds. This memoir chronicles his journey through pain, resilience, and the long road to healing.
