    About this ebook

    During his first year in college, Omar was given a series of assignments by his psychology professor. Initially, he didn't think much of them, as he felt they were just the professor's way to correlate the behavioral concepts of the class with the students' own experiences.

    Omar Gonzalez

    Omar Gonzalez is a former member of the US Armed Forces and is currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy. More notably, Omar is also an award-winning author, having released his first book, The Phantom Struggle: Memoirs of a Life Once Struggling, in the late summer of 2020. The product of a turbulent, alcohol-ridden, and low-income home, he has been homeless and was not afforded the opportunity of having an all-around safe and fun childhood. However, when speaking to him directly, he would never disclose such information. Instead, Omar would like for people to read about his various experiences in life. Whether it is encountering abuse, love, heartache, religion, or self-discovery, he has a poem or story for such an experience. When he is not busy with professional endeavors, Omar spends his time thinking of ways to write about his life or others' lives and does not shy away from using fantastic elements to convey his message. Omar yearns to write emotion-driven stories that captivate the readers' spectrum of emotions and imagination so that they feel and see the story unfold before them.
