Just Roll With It: 7 Battle-Tested Truths for Building a Resilient Life

In this radically honest book, author Sarah Plummer Taylor invites readers to strip away the excuses we so often give ourselves, and instead gaze boldly at our own souls, pain, intuition, and capacity for growth. She inspires us to take courageous and compassionate action on our own behalf. Plummer Taylor’s personal story, shared in the form of gripping yet often playful narratives, is woven together with universal truths that empower as much as they inspire. She speaks from her own experience as a U.S. Marine veteran who repeatedly deployed to combat zones, as a military Olympian, as a survivor of the fires of America’s broken judicial system, and as a thriving and joyful wellness coach. With practical tips and suggestions, she guides readers from “I don’t know how to change,” to “I can take action in my life.” Dig into thought-provoking meditations and challenge yourself with each chapter’s personal development assignments.

Stopping Military Suicides: Veteran Voices to Help Prevent Deaths

As suicides among members of the U.S. military and veterans continue at a rate higher than in the general population—at least 20 each day—authors and Marines Kate Hendricks Thomas and Sarah Plummer Taylor present a call for a new approach to this public health crisis. The book details a plan to establish preventative training for mental fitness that will help psychologically “vaccinate” service members against depression and PTSD, the most common precursors to suicidal thoughts. Each topic addressed is illustrated with stories from veterans. Part of the solution, the authors explain, is to present prevention as something for all service members, and as a positive, strength-building, challenging activity for champions, as opposed to a post-trauma treatment only for “weak and broken” warriors.

Invisible Veterans: What Happens When Military Women Become Civilians Again
Contributing Author

The very word veteran calls to mind the image of a man. Yet there are currently over 2 million women veterans in the United States. Many of these women served in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and their participation throughout the spectrum of military operations, including in combat, is a first in our nation’s history.  We’ve heard a small number of their war stories and the debate about combat integration and registering for the draft has riveted Sunday morning talk show hosts. However, their unique experiences reintegrating into society after military service have yet to be recorded, examined, and told.  Invisible Veterans works to make those experiences visible. A powerful team of contributors lend their research and personal stories to this volume.
