ssues of Life and Death is a candid collection of personal essays from Leighton Peart, written at the intersection of philosophy and lived experience. Drawing on a difficult and abusive childhood, a lifelong struggle with depression, and reflections on family, identity and survival, Peart examines the experiences that shape us - and questions what remains when the easy answers fall away. These essays do not offer resolution, but an honest attempt to make sense of a life marked by pain and resilience.

Although concise, Issues of Life and Death is not a book to rush through. It is an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin a conversation-within its pages, with others, and with yourself.
