Synopsis

For fans of survival memoirs comes a compelling memoir of surviving the unthinkable and emerging with a powerful story in resilience.

Lessons about embracing the miracles of life, based on a story of how Brody Young survived being shot nine times and severely wounded by a man while on patrol as a park ranger in a remote canyon in Utah one night. After many months, he recovered from his wounds and returned to work, forever changed by his near-death experience. How Young reacted in the face of life-threatening danger takes on heightened meaning when we learn how he decided to respond to the miracles that followed. This book is Brody’s answer to the unavoidable question, How will you handle it when your life is on the line? It is a story of courage, healing, and hope, but it’s really about giving others the courage and hope they need to live a full, rewarding, meaningful life.

It’s plain and simple: Brody Young should not be alive. Ambushed and left for dead in the desert, he found a way to survive, live, and thrive – even with four slugs and a lot of shrapnel still in his body. Since healing from his nine gunshot wounds, Young has returned to serving as a park ranger with the rank of lieutenant in Utah. Now affiliated with the Washington Speakers Bureau and Gotham Artists, he gives motivational talks about his inspiring, incredible story of survival. Young resides in Moab, Utah with his wife and three children. Nine Miracles is his first book.
