FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
At Two Years Old, I Ate Spiders Just to Curb the Hunger Pains: Joseph Bonner Releases Immersive New Memoir and Soundtrack

SAN DIEGO, CA – Most children associate their toddler years with bedtime stories and safety. For humanitarian and journalist Joseph Bonner, those years were defined by a desperate struggle for survival. In his raw and gripping new 14-chapter autobiography, The Boy Who Never Gave Up, Bonner recounts the harrowing reality of being left to fend for himself and his younger brother after their mother abandoned them.

"At two years old, I already knew the taste of survival," Bonner shares. "It tasted like spiders. While other kids were being tucked into bed, I was stepping into a role no toddler should ever have to play. With my mother gone and the world turning cold, I held my brother close, whispering promises of a future I couldn’t even see yet. I wasn't just a child; I was a protector."
A Story You Can Hear

This release marks a groundbreaking shift in the memoir genre. Bonner didn’t just write his story—he sang it. The Boy Who Never Gave Up features a hand-crafted soundtrack where every chapter is paired with a specific track. Spanning genres from soulful pop to driving rock, the music is designed to be heard before and after each chapter, allowing the audience to truly feel the evolution from the neglected streets of San Diego to a global mission for human rights.
Read. Listen. Give Back.
The impact of this project extends far beyond the page and the speakers. In a commitment to his ongoing work as a human rights advocate:
100% of all proceeds from the book and soundtrack are donated directly to the Bully Avengers to support human rights and protect the vulnerable.
Instant Access: The digital book and soundtrack are delivered via email within 24 hours of purchase.
