Anywhere, USA

A Memoir

By: Steph Silver

Narrated by: Steph Silver

“Anywhere, USA stands as a powerful testament to the enduring power of hope and hard work, inspiring us all to find strength even in life's darkest moments. Steph shares stories of alcohol-fueled violence, the challenges of a nomadic lifestyle, and the complexities of the only type of love she knows.” —Steve Ryan

“A constant reminder that no matter your circumstances, your upbringing, or even the places you’ve lived and the unimaginable horrors and experiences you have gone through, you CAN get through, push on and succeed both personally and professionally. Our past does not define us, it simply reminds us to do better, strive harder, climb higher and always keep the light shining bright.” —Marilyn Doyle

Despite every reason not to, Steph Silver savors the little things wherever she goes—like flowers in a field, sunlight through the trees, and playing with her brother, Bobbie. But, no matter how often she escapes into the light, darkness always threatens to pull her backward.

Moving over thirty times before she was seventeen, hopscotching between campgrounds, fully furnished homes, and homeless shelters, Steph’s dysfunctional family takes starting over to the extreme. But despite the close calls with disasters, both natural and man-made, Steph clings to one belief: that her own strength, goodness, and hard work will earn her the love and security she seeks.

Who she ultimately chooses to become and if she’ll transcend her circumstances are questions Steph must answer for herself more than once. Anywhere, USA is a profound testament to the power of resilience.
