Normal Human Beings

What happens when a man decides to stop running from his past?

Robert Fulford grew up under the weight of childhood trauma that shaped every part of his life — the anger, the addictions, the broken trust. For years, he carried it in silence, hiding behind success, distractions, and escape.

But pain buried alive never dies.

This powerful memoir, written with his wife Amy, is the story of what happens when truth finally breaks through. From the shadows of neglect and abuse to the light of faith, healing, and redemption, Normal Human Beings offers men a mirror for their own struggles — and proof that another way is possible.

Raw. Honest. Unfiltered.

This isn’t theory. It’s a lived experience—a journey every man with a wounded childhood needs to see.

For men ready to face their story — and for the women who love them — this book is a lifeline.

Reviews

“Normal Human Beings is a quick read, but it hits hard. Robert’s honesty about growing up with trauma—and the way it shaped him—was real in a way most books don’t even try for. If you’re someone who had a rough childhood, or you care about someone who did, this book matters. Especially if you’re a man. It shows you you’re not alone, and it gives you language for things most of us were never taught to talk about. I’m glad I read it. I’m proud my good friend -since the third grade - and that he was brave enough to share his story.”

  • "This book is powerful! It’s a quick read, but it sticks with you. Robert talks openly about the kind of childhood trauma most men never speak about, let alone work through. If you’ve dealt with that yourself, or you want to better understand and support someone who has, Normal Human Beings is well worth picking up."
