What the Wounds Remember
|
There are wounds we carry quietly, long before we have the words to name them. Some settle deep, shaping the way we walk through the world, shaping the work we feel called to do. My own early fractures stayed hidden for years, but they coloured everything: the choices I made, the people I tried to help, the strange paths I followed in search of meaning.
Crackmask is the story of those beginnings. It is the long, uneven journey from silence to speech, from damage to something that resembles healing. It is about the slow rebuilding of a life that was once scattered in too many directions, and the unexpected places where light begins to seep through. This book isn’t about triumph. It’s about survival, the kind that grows quietly in the dark, waiting for its moment to speak. It’s about the bruises we inherit, the ones we gather along the way, and the fragile, stubborn hope that refuses to die. |

“These sculptures remind Eddie how Crackmask
was written, reaching upward from the wreckage.”
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.

"I’m grateful to have survived the torrents that once tried to pull me under. If Crackmask can offer a handhold, a breath, or a moment of steadiness to someone in their own wild water, then every rapid meant something."
