Harnessing the early days of social media, Haymitch St. Stephen sparked a viral campaign by dressing as a hobbit—then went on to study creativity in graduate school at Stanford.
He co-wrote a book, "Friend of the Devil: A Story of Mental Health, Mistakes, and Self-Forgiveness," about a friend whose decisions took four lives, and the wrenching path of forgiveness and self-forgiveness that followed.
The Curious Case of Haymitch St. Stephen is a portrait of a life stitched from whimsy and wonder, grief and grace—offering profound insights for our divided world.
