New from David "Joe" Sanders
Bonded: A Brother’s Love is a raw, haunting memoir written from deep inside the chaos of loss. Told in two halves — one haunting, one surviving — this is a journey; sharp with humor, scarred with memory, and full of echoes that won’t fade.
For anyone who’s tried to stop someone from jumping — or needed someone to stop them — this book doesn’t offer platitudes. It offers truth. Messy, sharp-edged, unforgettable truth.
Bonded is a psychological reckoning wrapped in love, loss, and an unflinching look at suicide’s long shadow.
For anyone who’s tried to pull someone back from the edge — or live after someone didn't make it — this is a journey through grief that doesn’t offer clean lines or easy hope. But it might just show you how to stay.
Perfect for readers who want unflinching truth, dark humor, and a memoir that breaks the mold.

"This book deals with a subject that is too often avoided, at least not until you're standing on that narrow ledge staring into that dark abyss of finality yourself. David Sanders takes you on a journey of emotions...confusion, disappointment, anxiety, fear, sorrow, anger...a gamut of feelings vividly portrayed by this author's straightforward writing style and graphic descriptions of the tragic childhood event that forever changed his life. The book is about suicide, "no holds barred" prose; be prepared for a heart rendering read and a story that could literally change your life."
The moment the gunshot echoed, everything changed. Joe’s older brother was gone; but something else had just begun.
Not only loss. Not only pain. Something present.
In that moment, Joe was changed forever. Something shifted, something that wouldn’t let go. A presence that blurred the lines between grief and something more.
Bonded: A Brother’s Love | One Bullet. A Thousand Echoes. is more than a memoir, this is a true story about what happens when grief doesn’t just knock—it moves in. When survival means carrying not only your own pain, but something more.
Joe confronts a question most never ask: What if you don’t just carry your grief… what if it carries you?
For anyone who’s lost someone or ever wondered if the echo in their head is just memory—or something more.
Some stories stay with you long after the last page is turned. This is one of them.
