💜August 7th is Purple Heart Day💜
This day recognizes the sacrifices and heroics of wounded veterans. Together, we thank them for their service!
I’m especially thankful to the many veterans who’ve supported and helped shape my work that honors their journey through injury and healing.
Purple Heart decorated veteran Sgt Noah Galloway lost an arm and a leg in Iraq yet he went on to grace the cover of Men’s Health Magazine and finished in 3rd place in Dancing With the Stars. His injuries are similar to those of my main protagonist Phoenix Walker. Noah says:
“Always Orchid” by Carol Van Den Hende is a heartwarming tale of love and resilience that reminds us of the power of forgiveness, the strength of the human spirit, and the unbreakable bond that can withstand any obstacle.
Learn more about Noah from his memoir, Living with No Excuses and invite me to your book club meeting to hear more about the heroes who inspired my Goodbye, Orchid series!
