Living in the Gray is a culmination of personal writing from the past decade during a time in April’s life when she stopped seeing the world defined in absolutes but in varying shades of gray. This memoir is not a linear timeline or biography. It’s a glimpse into April’s messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, and joyful life. It’s raw and real and brave. It’s snapshots and moments and milestones that she felt called to capture and write about. This journey has taught her two important lessons. One, when you get out of your own way and stop resisting everything around you, the world unfolds exactly as it should, and you find your space in it. And two, life is a constant paradox where two complete opposites can exist at the very same time. There is no good without bad and no joy without sadness. The world is composed of many shades of gray.
