Michael Darin Graeber is a retired NATO contractor, lifelong technologist, and storyteller.
For almost twenty years, he lived in Sicily, Italy, where he met his wife and began reflecting on the life he left behind in America — one marked by hardship, silence, and survival.
His debut memoir, A Tale of Three Tells, explores the intertwined lives of three siblings who endured the same house of abuse but lived different truths. It is both an act of remembrance and redemption, uncovering the ways trauma shapes — and divides — our understanding of the past.

“I write to reconcile the silence of the past with the voice I finally found.”

Through his work, Graeber seeks to give form to pain and honor to truth — crafting stories that confront darkness not to dwell in it, but to show that even broken light can illuminate the way forward.
