Shaking In The Forest: Finding Light in the Darkness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888244005)

Shaking in the Forest opens with a plane crash and ends with a life-threatening illness. At the age of twenty-five, Lori Hodges chose to make a career helping people during the worst days of their lives. She has spent the last thirty years in emergency services-first as a firefighter and paramedic and later as an emergency manager, helping to coordinate the response and recovery to disasters. It is through this work that she has come to see the beauty in tragedy.

The most difficult times often teach us the greatest lessons, and our connections to others give us the power to face the unknown. It is through these relationships - whether brief or long-lasting - that we are able to step forward confidently into a new day. Bridging the lessons Lori learned as a paramedic with her own personal trauma, Shaking in the Forest brings light to the darkness to help each of us find a way to thrive even during our most difficult days.
