When life shatters, most people talk about getting put back together again. Cory tells you what really happens — the confusion, the reckoning, the dark comedy of surviving five strokes with a dog who refuses to let him quit, and a pint of ice cream that becomes a strange kind of salvation.

Beyond the Wall is equal parts memoir and battle cry, a fierce reminder that broken isn’t the end — it’s the doorway. With a voice that is honest, sharp, and unexpectedly funny, Cory walks readers through the wreckage and the rebuilding, showing how a life can blow apart and still illuminate everything that matters.
