BOOK SUMMARY

Unwritten Diaries is a historical thriller that explores the dangerous intersection of memory, power, and forbidden knowledge.

 

When Laurence Gerard, a struggling screenwriter haunted by the loss of his father and a trail of unfinished scripts, discovers the suppressed legacy of Wilhelm Reich, he becomes obsessed with telling the story no one else dares to touch. Reich, once a rising star in Freud’s inner circle, was later branded a heretic, imprisoned, and erased from history. But why?

​

What begins as research for a screenplay spirals into a deepening mystery when Laurence uncovers a hidden set of Reich’s personal diaries and government files pointing to a cover-up involving U.S. intelligence, mind control experiments, and Nazi defectors embedded in postwar institutions. As Laurence follows the trail across Rome, Vienna, and New York, he's shadowed by surveillance, confronted by ghostly fragments of his own childhood, and drawn to a mysterious woman whose connection to Reich may be more than academic.

​

As the past begins to mirror the present, Laurence must confront a shocking possibility: his own father may have played a role in Reich’s persecution—and in the silence that shaped his life.

​

A riveting blend of historical fact, psychological suspense, and emotional depth, Unwritten Diaries peels back layers of secrecy to ask what happens when you go looking for the truth, and find yourself instead. For fans of Robert Harris, Kate Atkinson, and historical conspiracies with a metaphysical edge, this is a novel that lingers long after the last page.

​

One line tage: A buried past. A forbidden story. One man’s search for truth in a world built on lies.

More about Lawrence

​

Lawrence DeRusha is a storyteller drawn to the unseen forces that shape our lives, history’s buried truths, the mysteries of consciousness, and the quiet power of intuition. His work bridges the realms of psychological thriller, historical intrigue, and metaphysical exploration, challenging readers to question not just what is real, but what is possible.

After years spent immersed in mysticism, quantum theory, and suppressed scientific history, Larry began writing stories that unravel the silence around people, powers, and ideas that were never meant to be forgotten. His debut novel, Unwritten Diaries, investigates the legacy of Wilhelm Reich and the cost of uncovering forbidden knowledge. His nonfiction work, Intuit: Unlocking Your Intuition, blends science and spirit to offer a guide for deep listening in an age of noise.

​

Larry is also was creator and co-host of the Beyond Limits podcast and founder of the MysticLivingCenter.net, a digital sanctuary where science and spirituality meet. Whether through fiction, memoir, or conversation, his mission remains the same: to awaken, to reveal, and to remember what we’ve been taught to dismiss.

​

He splits time between Mexico and the United States, and is always listening for the next story waiting to break through.
