STILL STANDING is the true story of a boy who refused to disappear and a man who learned to rise again.
From the shores of San Andrés Island to the complex realities of life in the United States, Obal's journey is marked by resilience, loss, identity, and the unbreakable will to survive. Through the shadows of childhood trauma, the weight of silence, and the long road toward healing, he uncovers the strength that carried him forward even when everything around him was falling apart.
Told with raw honesty and cinematic detail, STILL STANDING is more than a memoir - it is a testament to endurance, a tribute to the child who held on, and a reminder that even in our darkest chapters, the story isn't over. With lyrical prose and emotional depth, Obal invites readers into a journey that is deeply personal yet universally resonant.
A powerful book for anyone who has ever had to rebuild themselves from the inside out.
