It's a raw, unfiltered look behind the patches, into the real lives of men and women who once lived by them and the courage it takes to walk away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough first-hand accounts and powerful reflections, these pages reveal what really happens inside club life: the loyalty, the hierarchy, the brotherhood and sisterhood, and the darkness that too often hides beneath the surface. From long nights and loyalty tests to trauma, addiction, and redemption, these stories expose both the thrill and the cost of living as a 1%er.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompiled and led by \u003cstrong\u003eTroy Koerntjes\u003c\/strong\u003e, a former club member turned qualified counsellor and founder of a mental health and disability service, \u003cem\u003eBeyond the Backpatch\u003c\/em\u003e gives readers a perspective rarely told from the inside, one grounded in truth, empathy, and recovery. Today, many of the contributors are community leaders in mental health, addiction recovery, and men's and women's wellbeing. Others are still rebuilding, learning to live life beyond the rules, rituals, and reputations of club culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book doesn't preach and it doesn't sensationalise. It sheds light on the human side, the trauma that leads people to the patch, the loyalty that keeps them there, and the healing it takes to leave it behind. It's about choices, identity, and survival. It's about the heavy price of belonging and the resilience it takes to start over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond the Backpatch\u003c\/em\u003e is for anyone curious about the real world behind motorcycle clubs, anyone who's lived through trauma or addiction, and anyone searching for proof that change is possible - no matter how deep you've been in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Troy Koerntjes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1923650025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781923650022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morpheus Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Troy Koerntjes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437583970559,"sku":"9781923650022","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19af2db0-6187-4d1e-88ab-8fed189f7f4c.jpg?v=1777162722","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-the-back-patch-troy-koerntjes-9781923650022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
