The Children We Left Behind
Adam B. Coleman’s Triumph Over a Broken Past
On Saturday, I had the honor of attending
’s book launch party for his latest work, The Children We Left Behind.If you don’t know Adam’s story, buckle up—it’s raw, real, and redemptive.
Adam survived a childhood that could’ve crushed anyone. His father bailed, leaving his mother to carry the weight of supporting his family alone. What followed was a brutal stretch of homelessness, mental hospital stays, and a chaotic life that would’ve broken most. But Adam? He turned it into fuel. Now, he’s a writer for the New York Post and a two-time author, with The Children We Left Behind as his latest gut-punch to the status quo
.
This isn’t just a memoir—it’s a wake-up call. Adam dives into the taboo topic no one wants to touch: the nuclear family’s decline in America.
When families get deprioritized, kids pay the price. Countless children are left to fend for themselves in a system that doesn’t care. Adam’s been there, lived it, and now he’s calling it out.
Buy the book. You’ll see why it matters.
