It Stops Here: The Wounds your Children Do not Have to Inherit

Some wounds are passed down without anyone ever choosing them.
Pain becomes silence. Silence becomes distance. Anger becomes habit. Fear becomes protection. And before long, one generation hands the next generation something it never meant to give.
It Stops Here is about making sure that cycle ends with you.
In this deeply personal story of fathers, sons, memory, faith, failure, forgiveness, and healing, Mason Torres—along with the testimony and correspondence of his father, Joe Torres—examines the wounds that can travel through a family for generations.

This is not a book about blaming the people who came before you.
It is about understanding what happened, facing what is still affecting you, and deciding what your children will—and will not—inherit.
Through honest family stories, hard-earned lessons, and a faith rooted in redemption, It Stops Here challenges men to confront the past without allowing it to control the future.
You may not be able to change what happened to you.
You may not be able to repair every relationship.
But you can decide what happens next.
You can become the father, husband, son, and man who refuses to keep passing the pain forward.

The wounds may have reached you.
They do not have to reach your children.
It stops here.
