Loner. Anti-social. Broken!
THESE WORDS ARE OFTEN used to describe over 40% of Americans who consider themselves introverts today.
Do you battle your own self-confidence? Are you in your head too much? Do social situations drain your battery?
I'm thrilled to present my award-winning book, In Search of Courage: An Introvertʼs Struggle with Addictive Behaviors. It is more than just a deeply revealing and compelling memoir. It offers a relatable story about fear and the repercussions of making poor choices in order to attempt to cope with introversion.
Along my bumpy path, I share the stories I had to overcome in my pursuit of peace, serenity, and courage. In Search of Courage presents an inspiring story that shouts to the reader,
“You are not alone!”

Releasing TODAY...my AWARD WINNING book, In Search of Courage:
I'm honored to share that In Search of Courage won the SILVER AWARD from the Nonfiction Authors Association, who noted:
Wallflowers of the world will rejoice upon reading Steve Friedman's account of his journey.
In Search of Courage: An Introvert’s Struggle with Addictive Behavior, is a well-needed book that goes into depth about being introverted, the feelings involved, and how society views and treats introverts. The stories in this book go from heart-wrenching to heartwarming.
I cannot imagine how scary it must have been for the author to share so much of himself with the world but I think the fact that he has, proves that he has found the courage that he was in search of. Perhaps this book will help others to do the same! - Nonfiction Authors Association Book Awards Program

OUR DAY
March 21 is...WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY!
March 21, is World Down Syndrome Day.
Did you know that Down Syndrome—a disorder that occurs when there is a duplication of the twenty-first chromosome—affects approximately 6,000 babies at birth every year? March 21 - a date chosen to represent the extra (3rd) 21st chromosome found in Down Syndrome - was selected as WDSD in 2005 but was not officially celebrated until 2012.
This day is especially dear to my heart as our daughter, Gwendolyn, just celebrated her 25th AND A HALF birthday. Gwendolyn is an amazing person. She is extraordinary... Gwendolyn loves to read books, does awesome art and jewelry, and has beautiful handwriting. She surfs the internet to research singers and concerts and has dogged defensive skills on the basketball court. Gwendolyn is an avid dancer, singer, and concert-goer (Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, and Lady GaGa are her favorites).
Gwendolyn attends Houston's Friends of Down Syndrome Academy three days a week and works at the awesome Firehouse Subs four lunchtimes a week. She is determined in her pursuit of independence and is the co-author on my next as-yet-unnamed writing project. You can join our new website, BeyondDownSyndrome.net today to get project updates along the way!
