“The psychological portrait painted of the protagonist is fully fascinating, and even in his most unlikable and distasteful neuroses, he retains a compelling pathos. Each small step in this novel feels carefully planned.” — Catholic Media Association Book Awards

“The writing floored me…sharp, introspective, and full of complicated characters...I couldn’t stop reading…” - Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan



Pride goes before a fall—but what comes after?

Michael is not an easy man to like.

A brilliant pediatric plastic surgeon, he prides himself on being right, being respected, and being in control. But when the discovery of his wife Rosie's duplicity shatters his carefully ordered world and leads to tragedy, Michael is forced to confront a possibility more painful than loss itself: that he may not be the man he believes himself to be.

Consumed by remorse, he begins recording a year of attempted reparation in a journal, starting with small, humbling acts—like making his wife's morning tea. Yet proving he's emotionally fit to wield a scalpel again requires far more than symbolic gestures. Under the scrutiny of a hospital psychiatrist with unorthodox methods, Michael's rationalizations begin to crumble, exposing truths he has spent a lifetime avoiding.

As he struggles to repair the damage he's caused, humiliation follows humiliation. And the one person who might help lead him toward redemption—his estranged son, "the Jackass"—hasn't spoken to him in years.

And has no intention of starting now.

Rich in psychological insight and driven by a compelling plot, The Year of My Humiliation is an unforgettable story of pride, loss, redemption, and the surprising ways grace can enter a wounded life.
