by Mindy Dougherty (Author)
US Army veteran Mindy Dougherty has weathered storms that would level most people and still chooses joy. In this gripping, hope-drenched memoir, Mindy invites you into the trenches and her garden: late-night panic and hospital corridors, but also the belly laughs, gratitude lists, and soil under her fingernails. Refusing bitterness, Mindy has developed a lifestyle of biohacking her healing with humor, new healing modalities, community, and the living medicine of her urban plot, Feed My City-a garden that nourishes neighbors while teaching the body and spirit to grow again.
Told with disarming candor and a comic's timing, A Resilient Warrior is a testament to the power of getting back up-one breath, one joke, one seed at a time. Mindy's life proves that resilience isn't a trait you're born with. It's a habit you practice.
For readers of The Body Keeps the Score, Option B, and Braiding Sweetgrass who believe the human spirit can be broken open but not broken down.
