    When A Memoir Takes A Turn with David Lomax

    David Lomax is a teacher of 18 years and the author of Trails of Thoughts, a memoir 25 years in the making. The book explores survival, resilience, and the search for meaning — drawn from an unusually difficult life, including years working in remote regions of Alaska. The memoir began as an attempt to understand endurance, emotional control, and survival. It ended as something more. David's son, who survived childhood leukemia from age three, encouraged him to finish it. After his death in 2023, David completed the manuscript — adding him into the final chapters not as a device, but as the truth the story could no longer avoid. The book is dedicated to him.
