Official synopsis Publisher
Maverick was a strong and outgoing blond-haired, blue-eyed sixteen-year-old that had the world at his fingertips, or so his family thought. A world full of friends, laughter, and love, Maverick succeeded in absorbing and influencing the world around him. The youngest of three, Maverick was protected as he was the source of endless entertainment and teenage independence-based challenges.
Maverick died by suicide on June 17, 2016. Three days after his father’s birthday and two days before Father’s Day.
Walks in the Dark is the real story written from Maverick’s father’s perspective honed over months of introspection on very early morning walks, education, interactions with other grieving parents, and long talks with his wife, Maverick’s mom. A story about the short life and untimely death of Maverick, his amazingly tight bond with his mother, as well as the processes his family employs in attempting to understand how this could happen, and to accept life without their Maverick.
