Finding Peace

A memoir of loss, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to start again. Growing up as a free-spirited tomboy in 1970s San Diego, Deborah Hardison never imagined how much life would ask of her. From family upheavals and a marriage that slowly unraveled to the deaths of her father, brother, and mother, her journey is marked by heartbreak—but also by an unwavering determination to keep moving forward. In Finding Peace, Deborah traces her life through the moments that shaped her most: • Childhood freedom tinged with strict expectations • A whirlwind romance, marriage, and the joys of raising two children • Grief that arrived too early and too often • Three difficult years caring for her mother through dementia • A painful collapse—losing her home, job, and sense of direction • The choice to rise, rebuild, and find purpose again Moving from California to Arizona and finally to Reno, Deborah discovers healing in the unexpected place where her story turns: caregiving. By helping others, she begins to mend her own wounds, rediscovering hope, belonging, and the simple joys of a life rebuilt—her grandchildren, her art, her three spirited Chihuahuas, and a renewed sense of purpose at sixty. Honest, heartfelt, and deeply human, Finding Peace is a reminder that even after profound loss, it is possible to create a life filled with meaning, connection, and quiet joy.
