In Hard Things, Marc Hopkins takes readers on a journey through the grueling Bigfoot 200-mile ultramarathon and, more importantly, through the uncharted terrain of his inner landscape. What begins as a personal challenge to prove his worth becomes a profound odyssey of self-discovery as he navigates the punishing trails of the Cascade Mountains and the deeply ingrained patterns that have shaped his life. From scorching desert to freezing river crossings, from hallucinations to moments of startling clarity, Marc’s physical journey mirrors his emotional one.

As he pushes his body beyond what seems humanly possible, Marc confronts the truth about why he runs—not merely to demonstrate endurance, but to escape the anxiety that has chased him since childhood. With each punishing mile, he unravels the complex relationship dynamics, family patterns, and personal struggles he’s spent a lifetime avoiding, revealing the strength he’s always projected as both his greatest asset and his heaviest burden.

Hard Things is a powerful memoir about what it means to be authentically strong, vulnerable, and worthy of love. For anyone who has ever doubted themselves, it offers a gripping, inspiring testament to perseverance, self-discovery, and the truth that the hardest trails aren’t always measured in miles.

From the silence of a Turin Institute for Infants to the unfolding symphonies of a life in music, The Unknown Composer is a deeply personal memoir of identity, transformation, and creative devotion.

John A. Carollo—born Giovanni Baudino—was adopted from Italy and raised in Pennsylvania, a child caught between languages, cultures, and selves. Through music and poetry, he forged a life of meaning beyond abandonment, beyond acclaim. With candor and lyricism, he traces his evolution from a solitary child to a prolific composer whose works span piano, orchestra, choir, verse, and chamber music.

This memoir is a meditation on the metaphysics of sound, the necessity of solitude, and the healing power of artistic truth. Through reflections, poetic interludes, and hard-won wisdom, Carollo offers a testament to the unseen lives behind the music we rarely hear, and the courage it takes to remain faithful to one’s inner voice.

For anyone drawn to the creative process, the mysteries of identity, or the soul’s search for expression, The Unknown Composer is both map and mirror. John A. Carollo, the story of a composer who turned silence into art, and art into lasting sound.
