Smiling in the Dark, a new book by Jason Wonio, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

One of the biggest challenges one faces in life is the internal conflict within themselves. Seattle-based firefighter, Hank, in the wake of losing his love to crippling alcoholism, decides to face his internal struggles and gets sober. Every day brings a new set of challenges as he navigates life without alcohol. Along the way, he finds his roots in his grandma’s farm and meets the eccentric and vivacious nurse, Julie, who stirs up feelings he has not felt in a long time. Smiling in the Dark tells the story of a man who tries to move on from his troubled past and seeks redemption and growth in the pursuit of self-improvement.
