Chris Marshall’s Memoir
Faster Than Light
Chris Marshall’s literary debut, Faster Than Light, is a gripping and deeply personal memoir that chronicles his journey from an idyllic childhood in Sugar Land, Texas, to grappling with anxiety, substance dependency, and ultimately, redemption.
Growing up just outside Houston, Chris was raised by a resilient single mother who instilled in him the values of determination and strength. Yet, a series of early traumas left him battling anxiety that he would later self-medicate with alcohol. By his senior year of high school, Chris was physically dependent on alcohol—a substance that offered fleeting relief but left lasting scars.
This memoir follows Chris’ remarkable journey from his first year in recovery to becoming a counselor and ultimately founding Sans Bar, the first non-alcoholic bar in North America. Along the way, Chris shares hard-won insights on how celebration, creativity, and connection can become cornerstones of a recovery practice and a fulfilled life.
Whether you’re someone navigating your own recovery journey or thinking about your own entrepreneurial adventure, Faster Than Light is a testament to hope, dreaming big, and the power of rewriting your own story.
