WELCOME TO CRACKMASK
by Eddie Haworth.
Welcome to the home of Crackmask, a memoir built from lived experience, early fractures, hard‑won resilience, and the long, uneven work of rebuilding a life from the inside out. This space follows the journey behind the book: the memories that shaped it, the places that forged it, and the clarity that finally allowed it to be written.
Here you’ll find updates as the publication date approaches, reflections on survival and purpose, and glimpses into a life scattered across continents yet held together by truth.
If you’ve ever rebuilt yourself piece by piece or wondered how someone does, you’re in the right place.
The mask cracked a long time ago. This is what came through.

Crackmask grew out of a lifetime spent navigating the edges of survival, identity, and purpose. It follows Eddie Haworth through the landscapes that shaped him, from childhood upheaval to years of physical work, creative graft, and frontline safeguarding across cultures and continents.
The memoir explores how a life marked by disruption can evolve into one defined by clarity, compassion, and a refusal to look away from the truth.
This website charts the unfolding journey toward publication: the thoughts that didn’t make it into the book, the memories that continue to surface, and the reflections that come with finally giving shape to a life lived at full tilt.
Readers will find new writing, behind‑the‑scenes insights, and ongoing updates as Crackmask approaches its June release.
For anyone drawn to memoirs of resilience, lived experience, trauma recovery, or the strange alchemy of turning pain into purpose, this space offers a deeper look into the world behind the book and the man who lived it.

There’s a reason I chose a picture of a budding flower for this post. It felt right. This whole book project has been a long winter of waiting, hoping, scraping things together, and trusting that something would eventually push through the soil. And now, at last, it has.

Over the years, I’ve realised something no therapist ever had to tell me: survivors often develop a kind of awareness most people spend a lifetime trying to learn. READ MORE
