Immerse yourself in the poignant journey of R. Antonio Matta, born prematurely into a world bereft of affection, in his stirring memoir, Born Premature, Loved Overdue.

Matta charts his course through neglect and emotional hardship in this emotive-reflective micro-memoir, interlaced with evocative poetry. His premature birth triggered latent cancer in his mother, leaving him under the stern care of his faith-bound grandmother. His childhood, thus, becomes an icy saga of dread and isolation.

Haunted by survivor’s guilt and unjust blame, Antonio’s tale of silent suffering and self-inflicted harm sheds light on the invisible wounds many bear, likened to “being fed baby formula mixed with finely ground glass.” Yet, amidst this torment, Born Premature, Loved Overdue emerges as a beacon of human resilience.

Antonio's journey of growth and forgiveness, his escape from emotional abuse, and his realization of truth’s empowering nature inspire and uplift. Prepare for an odyssey through silent torment to witness the transformative power of one man’s journey—a boy born too soon who found love far too late. This audiobook is not just a memoir; it's a testament to the indomitable human spirit.
