WARRIOR offers us an intimate, truthful account of how our bravest citizens may struggle, and provides actionable insights and real solutions for mental crises. She draws from her deep understanding of the hearts and minds of warriors to help us understand true courage and the bonds of love that keep all of us in the fight.
