What if the life you spent decades building was also the life you eventually had to learn how to leave?Leap is a memoir about the choiceslarge and smallthat shape a life.Beginning in Lincoln, Nebraska, Jeff Johnson traces a childhood marked by adoption, family upheaval, friendship, first love, and early loss; the decision to leave for Boston and build a life of his own; the relationships, work, homes, and people that became his definition of belonging; and the long period in which alcohol gradually changed from relief into confinement.But Leap is not simply a memoir about addiction or recovery. It is about self-reliance and the limits of self-reliance. It is about grief, friendship, family, identity, work, money, home, aging, humor, shame, and the strange ways ordinary moments acquire meaning only after enough time has passed.It is also about beginning again.After years of trying to manage everything himself, Jeff finally reaches the point where surviving alone is no longer enough. Sobriety does not give him a perfect ending. It gives him something more useful: clarity, connection, and the chance to build an ordinary life he actually wants to protect.Intimate, unsentimental, reflective, and often darkly funny, Leap asks what it means to leave before certainty arrivesand whether becoming yourself may require more than one leap.That fits the actual arc of the manuscript, including the shift from alcohol as counterfeit relief toward rebuilding ordinary daily life and learning to accept other people's practical love.©2026 Jeff Johnson (P)2026 Jeff Johnson
