What if everything you ran from was the very thing trying to set you free? Horribly Lovely is a real love story. A story of broken relationships, love addiction, and loss met along the road back home. After destroying his marriage in a haze of sex, alcohol, and spiritual bypassing, Ben is forced to confront the unconscious trauma loops and the genesis that created him. In search of grace, he descends into the chaos of his psyche. What begins as a desperate escape from himself becomes an alchemical quest for redemption that leads him through shame, shadow, soul, and the fractured pieces of his masculinity. Anchored by the presence of his children and guided by dreams, archetypes, myth, and fierce truth-telling, Ben slowly shifts from chasing spirit in the ethereal to discovering his own sacred humanity in the ordinary. Through one broken relationship after another, he meets the father within and finds an intimacy that embraces both light and dark, life and death, feminine and masculine, right and wrong, existence and non-existence. Told with searing honesty and mythic sensitivity, Horribly Lovely is both confession and consecration. It is a brutally beautiful descent into the underworld and an invitation to live freely in one's own horribly lovely life.
