“Distant Secrets” by Richard Cole has been released worldwide. This 229-page autobiography shares the author’s journey through life’s ups and downs, from growing up in the 1950s to building businesses around his passion for birdwatching, and even the excitement of finally uncovering the secrets of his unknown biological parents.

His writing shows readers that uncertainty and setbacks are simply a part of being human, and offers kind wisdom for letting love and support from others be a beacon in hard times. Richard’s story is unique, but his knack for bringing readers into the lessons he’s learned and insights he’s gained transforms his autobiography into something more.

From the back cover:
Do you ever wonder who you really are? Richard Cole was front page news a few weeks after his birth in 1944, but this was something he never knew. He did know he was adopted and he did wonder who he really was. But, as a young adult, he wondered much more about finding success, a simple goal that seemed too elusive.
He was 19 when he married his high school sweetheart and took off, full speed, into the adult world. Harsh reality and his failure to focus on long-term goals made his desire to succeed just an unlikely dream.
He finally took control of his life and made the climb up to a nice middle-class life. Along with his wife, two really cure kids, and a new suburban home, they were the picture of a perfect little family. Then the dream evaporated and Richard’s life began a downward spiral that ended with him alone and subsisting on food stamps and unemployment checks. But Richard had met someone on his way down, someone who stuck with him during the bad times. She gave him a reason to keep trying, and hope that things would get better.
This lighthearted autobiography takes you along on Richard’s quest to find success in life and shares his discovery of the distant secrets that surrounded who he really was.
“Find yourself getting stuck in a zigzag of life’s twists and turns, unsure of where you’ll land? Richard Cole certainly has and Distant Secrets maps out his journey through the hardships and gains and everything in between. He opens up to share his intimate world of experiences and the ‘moments of stunning mental clarity’ that have guided him along the way.” – J.J. Hebert, USA Today bestselling author
