Life doesn't always pull us sharply left or right. Sometimes it nudges us just enough-a handful of degrees-to throw everything off balance. Seven Degrees Left of Center is Rich Shearer's honest, reflective look at those subtle shifts: the
moments that changed him, the hurts he carried longer than he meant to, and the unexpected grace that helped him find his footing again.
Told in short, heartfelt chapters, this memoir blends personal stories with the quiet wisdom that only comes from living through the messiness of real life. Rich writes about memory, loss, resilience, family, and the strange way healing never arrives in a straight line. His voice is candid and warm, often touched with humor, and grounded in the kind of truth that feels familiar even when the specifics are unique.
