Author of Fragments of Me — a memoir of survival, memory, and rebuilding identity.
“The hardest thing I ever did was accept that I wasn’t who I used to be — and learn to live with who I had become.” — Chad Saylor
A single accident that quietly changed the entire direction of a life still being written.
Long days, uncertainty, and learning to recognize a world that no longer felt the same.
Fragments of memory fading, returning in pieces, and rebuilding identity from what remained.
The people who refused to let go — even when everything else was slipping away.
Years later, those experiences became the foundation of a memoir that needed to exist.
Still learning, still remembering, still trying to understand what was lost — and what remains.
Chad writes the way memory feels — fragmented, emotional, and sometimes incomplete, but always real.
His story is not just about what happened to him, but about the people who carried him through it.
Exploring who you become when the version of yourself you expected no longer exists.
Not polished optimism — but the kind of hope that survives even in confusion and loss.
