Surface and Depths: A story of adolescence with reflections on the inner journey

Blending vivid storytelling with psychological and spiritual reflection, this book is for anyone who has ever struggled to understand themselves, their past, or their purpose.

In Surface and Depths, Roland Evans invites readers on a fearless journey through the raw terrain of adolescence-a time of isolation, yearning, and the aching search for meaning. This deeply personal memoir set in Ireland and Wales in the 1960's, traces Evans's struggle to reconcile his spiritual hunger with the confusion of growing up in a world that seldom speaks of what truly matters.

With the insight of a therapist and the sensitivity of a poet, Evans revisits formative moments of vulnerability, rebellion, and revelation. His story moves beyond confession, opening up a reflective space where psychology meets soul, and where painful truths are transformed into stepping stones toward inner freedom.

For anyone who has ever felt out of place, questioned their worth, or longed for something more real beneath the surface of things, Surface and Depths offers a voice of compassion, clarity, and hope. This is not just a coming-of-age story-it's a guide to adolescence and staying true to yourself.
