My Brother, My Shield

A Memoir of Survival, Brotherhood, and Breaking the Cycle

De: B. L. Calahan

Narrado por: Bill Andersen

Two brothers. One shield. A childhood no one should survive.

My Brother, My Shield is a raw, unflinching memoir of childhood abuse and the bond that turned pain into resilience. Through nights of fear and days of determination, B. L. Calahan recounts how he and his brother learned to protect each other, rebuild trust with the father they were taught to hate, and fight for healing—no matter the cost.

With the honesty of a survivor and the precision of a veteran, Calahan takes you from a home ruled by cruelty to the long, uneven road of recovery: grief that sneaks up in parking lots, rage that softens into resolve, and the steady work of breaking the cycle.

Perfect for listeners who are drawn to:

•Memoirs of survival and breaking generational trauma

•True stories of brotherhood, resilience, and hope

•Healing narratives that speak to PTSD, recovery, and forgiveness

Inside you’ll find:

•Unfiltered scenes that confront abuse without glorifying it

•Moments of dark humor and light that keep you listening

•A hard-won message: you can’t control what others do—you can control your next step

Content note: Depictions of domestic abuse and emotional trauma.

If you believe that courage is learned one choice at a time—and that love can be a shield—this story will stay with you long after the final tick.

Start listening now. Your next step toward hope begins here.
