Asleep (Awakening) Book Three

By Robert Paul

Asleep (Awakening) brings Robert Paul's extraordinary life story full circle-into clarity, acceptance, and the long-awaited peace that follows a lifetime of chaos.

After releasing Asleep (Drifting) in 2021, Robert shared the harrowing truth of his childhood: abuse, instability, and the constant fight to survive in a home ruled by violence and unpredictability. In Asleep (Hypnotic Rhythm), he exposed the reckless years that followed-years fueled by addiction, dangerous choices, and the illusion of invincibility.

But Awakening is different.

Here, Robert turns toward the people who remained his anchors through every storm: the loved ones whose presence gave him warmth, belonging, and the courage to rise. Through reflection, growth, and unflinching self-honesty, he explores how healing becomes possible when we confront the past without letting it define us.

This finale in the Asleep Trilogy is a powerful meditation on purpose, identity, and the quiet strength found in acceptance. Robert examines the cost of chasing money, validation, or distractions-only to discover that the real path to happiness lies in embracing who we truly are.

Raw, honest, and deeply reflective, Asleep (Awakening) offers hope to anyone who has lived through trauma, struggled to break destructive cycles, or questioned whether peace is even possible.

Praise for Asleep (Awakening):
"Asleep (Awakening) is a brilliantly self-reflective tale... a message of hope, vitality, and-yes-happiness."
