All too often when one is confronted about their less than desirable behavior, they will answer with, "well that's just the way I am and if you don't like it to bad." The truth of the matter is, that was a reaction that they most likely learned and one that was handed down from generation to generation. The reality is, this is great news. You see if we've learned less than becoming attitudes from our parents and peers, this means we can unlearn them and learn new perspectives, which will create or generate new behaviors. As in his first book Healing The Man Within, Randy uses his own experiences as well as lessons learned from the many men, women, and couples he has worked with over the past ten plus years to guide you on a thirty day journey to wholeness. Change is possible; one just has to be open-minded, willing and ready.

They were promised tomorrow. Now they have to survive it. In the 1980s, at the height of the AIDS crisis, eleven terminally ill patients made an impossible choice: to be cryogenically frozen in the hope that science might one day save them. Decades later, they awaken in present-day America-disoriented, weakened, and very much alive-in a world that assumed they died long ago. The biotech firm that froze them believes the experiment ended in catastrophe. The doctors who led the project vanished. And the society they reenter bears little resemblance to the one they left behind. Hidden inside a facility outside Los Angeles, the survivors struggle to make sense of the modern world while confronting the emotional wreckage of lives interrupted. They are men and women from different backgrounds, generations, and belief systems, bound together by a shared past shaped by stigma, secrecy, and loss. Some emerge stronger. Others fracture. Old wounds reopen. New alliances form. At the center of it all is Dr. Nathan Black, a young black gay man-and the estranged son of the notorious family of black scientists behind the biotech firm. As Nathan clashes with the new head of the family empire-his formidable stepmother, Dr. Brenda Black-the stakes escalate far beyond the fate of the eleven survivors. What began as an act of medical desperation now threatens to expose decades of corruption, ambition, and moral compromise. The question is no longer whether the unfrozen few can adapt to the future, but whether the future is willing to make room for them at all. Blending speculative science fiction with mystery, dark humor, and sharp social observation, The Unfrozen Few explores survival in its many forms: surviving illness, surviving erasure, and surviving the consequences of choices made when there seemed to be no other options. It is a story about bodies and memory, about family legacies that refuse to die, and about what it means to wake up decades later and discover that history moved on without you. Bold, character-driven, and emotionally grounded, The Unfrozen Few launches an ambitious saga about identity, power, and the fragile line between salvation and exploitation.
