Publisher's Summary
Narrated by award winning actor, Richard Shavzin.
The inspiring true story of a gardener in a war… who became a warrior in the garden. Born in an especially conservative society, little Robby Eastman’s raging ADHD made him a target of bullying from teachers, students and church leaders alike. He was suicidal before he even understood the word. As he grew, Rob discovered athletics as a way to utilize his high energy and intense focus… for survival and to gain some significance in the world—but only until the minute he walked off the field.
Turning to drugs to numb the anxiety and pain of not fitting in, Rob thought they were his savior. Instead, they plunged him into anarchy over his own life choices, made worse with the loss of his best friend, Danny. Even after becoming a father, Rob’s life spiraled out of control until one shocking night on a mountainside, when a voice behind him guided him away from death and into drug and alcohol treatment. And that was the beginning of his new life adventures.
In Warrior in the Garden, Rob shares a harrowing yet inspirational story of courage and perseverance leading him to guide his daughter and coach many others to places they never expected. “It’s better to stand and fight. If you run, you will only die tired.” Rob ran from his problems most of his life, letting the feelings of anxiety and depression take over, rather than asking why they were there. He was a gardener in a war, until in recovery he used extreme sports, such as cage fighting, ultramarathons, rock climbing, and skydiving, to face his toughest demons. These life lessons he now uses to coach on how to stand and fight… to be a warrior in the garden.
