Sean J. Gebhardt

From the California suburbs, through the depths of the heroin crisis throughout the Golden State, and to the edge of an all-too-real Hell and back, Sean J. Gebhardt wonders every day why he's still alive when so many have been lost to the opioid epidemic. But, for better or worse, he lives—writing late into the night, trying to silence that question through storytelling.

By day, he goes to work, pretending his job matters exactly as much as he needs to so he and his wife—who is absurdly out of his league—can provide for their strange and bewitching young daughter.

Everything Will Be Okay is his debut novel, a poignant, scathing reflection on broken lives and the elusive promise of healing.
