About this Event

Join us for the official launch of HealingUS, a memoir by Daniel J. Regan.

This event will be a high-impact, emotionally resonant literary and community experience to be held at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

HealingUS - A Memoir:

Daniel grew up with love, stability, and opportunity—everything that was supposed to protect him. But somewhere between the laughter of childhood and the silence of trauma, something shifted. By twenty-one, he was holed up in an abandoned motel in Palm Springs, addicted to meth, and a thousand miles from the life he once knew.

Told in vivid, soul-baring detail, HealingUS is a raw and unflinching memoir about addiction, mental health, and the invisible battles we fight behind closed doors.

From a warm New Jersey upbringing and sun-soaked afternoons on his grandfather’s boat, to the spiral of drugs, deceit, and desperation, Daniel’s journey is both heartbreaking and hopeful. With dual narratives from Daniel and his mother, readers are pulled into the depths of a family fighting to stay connected while addiction rips at the seams. Their voices, honest and unsparing, reveal the complexities of love in the face of chaos, and the power of showing up even when it hurts.

Perfect for fans of Beautiful Boy and Tweak, this is not just a story about addiction—it's about empathy, resilience, and the hard-won path back to truth.
