Oceans Apart is the unfiltered story of a man who loved deeply, trusted completely, and shattered quietly. Through heartbreak, betrayal, and rediscovery, Derick Appelcryn takes readers on an intimate journey through the wreckage of a love that promised forever - and delivered pain instead. Told with brutal honesty and poetic reflection, this memoir exposes the scars left by emotional manipulation and the illusion of love from a narcissist. It explores how heartbreak can become both a wound and a doorway - a chance to rediscover the self that pain tried to erase. More than a story of loss, Oceans Apart is a testament to resilience - a voice for those who have been broken and yet still choose to heal. For anyone who has loved and lost, trusted and been betrayed, or questioned their worth in the aftermath of love gone wrong, this memoir is a mirror - and a reminder that healing is not weakness, but power.
