The Author

James Jeffley is an award-winning international speaker and educator, a professional coach, author, musician, and minister. His mission and ministry is to elevate consciousness so people may life more fulfilled lives.

This book, "Memory Mines," is an exploration into what he calls "stealth grief" - the grief that pops up out of nowhere, "explodes" and triggers memories of loss, pain, or trauma.

It was born out of his lived experience of divorce, loss of parents, the discovery of his adoption and the subsequent loss of parents he never knew, along with his cultural identity... and many other painful life experiences.

"May you find help, hope, and a path to healing through the stories and ideas presented in this book." - James Jeffley
