On a Fourth of July night filled with smoke, explosions, and psychological torment, disabled Army combat veteran Dr. Miguel De La Rocha reaches the edge of surrender as trauma, chronic pain, homelessness, and despair close in around him.
In My Darkest Moment, the award-winning author of F.A.T.E. shares one of the most painful chapters of his life — a raw and deeply personal true story of PTSD, suicidal despair, trauma, survival, and resilience.
Pre Order Now
Haunted by the invisible wounds of combat and a lifetime of adversity, Dr. Miguel found himself confronting a question faced by far too many veterans and trauma survivors.
Brutally honest and emotionally powerful, this short memoir pulls readers into a single defining moment that forever changed the course of one man's life. Through darkness, loss, and overwhelming hopelessness, a spark of purpose begins to emerge.
My Darkest Moment is a story for veterans, first responders, trauma survivors, and anyone struggling through life's most difficult moments.
It is a reminder that even when everything seems lost, hope can still be found — and that our darkest moments do not have to become our last ones.
Some battles never end when the uniform comes off. But neither does the possibility of survival.
