by Brody Young with Austin Murphy - Memoir, Nonfiction

NINE MIRACLES is based on the 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.
