Meet The Woman Who Married Her Mom and Birthed A Dog...Well, Sort Of

TORONTO - Jan. 31, 2017 - PRLog -- What happens when you go through a decade of hell; 10 years of physical and emotional trauma that is persistent and unforgiving? When you do everything in your power to continue to live some semblance of a normal life, succeeding in business, yet failing to control all the upheaval being thrown at you from every angle and testing your personal life?

You become a Resiliency Ninja and write a book about it, that's what!

Married My Mom, Birthed A Dog: How to Be Resilient When Life Sucks, is the second book from best-selling author Allison Graham.

It follows her harrowing series of accidents, personal losses and debilitating injuries while running a successful company.  Emerging from that dark period in her life, Allison was able to survive and thrive, despite the chronic pain and lifestyle adjustments she had to make. But it didn't come naturally or easily. And what she learned along the way was that waiting it out, or succumbing to the despair by accepting those circumstances, was a choice. How she came out of it, was a decision. And a process.

Now Allison wants to share all she learned, and how she emerged stronger and by her own account a resiliency ninja, with anyone who feels hopeless or resigned to their current circumstances.

Following Winston Churchill's mantra of 'If you're going through Hell, don't stop', Allison's thoughtful—and comical—account about how she overcame those 10 terrible years will help reassure you that even the best people can have the worst of life thrown at them.

"I believe that there are a series of defining moments that determine if adversity will make you a victim or a Resiliency Ninja. I know the moments along my journey when I chose my path, but I want to identify the reasons why so many people allow their struggles to hijack their identity. That knowledge will help people bounce back faster in tough times."

Allison illustrates her insights by sharing the best and worst stories along her unrelenting journey.  At the end of each chapter, she offers ideas and take-aways on how you can overcome and fortify yourself, even when it feels like your world is crumbling.
