From Trauma to Triumph: Michael Turell’s Upcoming Book Shines a Light on the Silent Battles of the Forgotten

Michael Turell’s powerful upcoming memoir shares his journey from trauma to healing, giving a voice to those battling anxiety, depression, and poverty. More than a book—it’s a movement to spark national conversations on mental health, with goals for bestseller status, a film adaptation, and global outreach.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) July 22, 2025 - A powerful new memoir and movement offer hope to those battling anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. A voice to those the world too often ignores.
Author and survivor Michael Turell is stepping forward with a message the world desperately needs to hear: You are not alone. Your life matters. Your voice deserves to be heard.
In his upcoming book, Turell unflinchingly shares the story of a boy who grew up in a world where pain was normal, where crime and death were everyday sights, and where love and safety were often out of reach.
I was just a kid, Turell says. I thought seeing dead bodies in the street was part of life. I thought abuse was something we were all just supposed to endure. My home was filled with fear, and I was surrounded by people who made destruction look like power. But somewhere deep down, I knew I didn’t want to be like them. I wanted something more. Even if I didn’t know what that looked like.
The book, while deeply personal, isn’t just a memoir. It’s a mission. A mission to reach the millions suffering in silence, especially those growing up in poverty, facing broken homes, or battling mental health issues without support.
I know what anxiety feels like when you can’t breathe but still have to smile. I know depression so deep it numbs everything. I know what it means to feel invisible. To feel like your life doesn’t matter, he says. But I also know what it means to fight. And I want to help others fight too.
Michael’s book is the beginning of a larger campaign to spark national conversations around trauma, mental health, and healing in underserved communities. With funding support, the next steps include a major publishing contract and a robust promotional campaign. The goal is to become a USA Today and Amazon Best Seller, launch a Times Square book announcement, conduct TV interviews, and even explore a film adaptation.
Campaign highlights include:
Audiobook and hardcover release
National and virtual book tours
Podcast appearances
Screenwriter development for a potential movie
Marketing outreach to amplify the message across social media and traditional platforms
Distribution through Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Ingram iPage, and more
This is not just my story, Turell says. This is the story of every child who cried themselves to sleep, every person who’s ever felt like they weren’t enough, and everyone who’s still trying to find the strength to keep going. I wrote this book for them.
