In a time when people around the world are aching for truth, connection, and hope, “Finding Peace Through Struggle” delivers all three, straight from the hearts of women and men who have walked through darkness and found light on the other side.

This powerful anthology, created and curated by award-winning author and trauma specialist Cathy Domoney and the global community behind The Backyard Peace Project (BYPP) and published by Karen Weaver at KMD Publishing, features deeply personal stories of trauma, transformation, and triumph. With 25+ authors from around the world, the book covers themes such as childhood adversity, domestic violence, financial collapse, chronic illness, grief, addiction, burnout, betrayal, and self-doubt, paired with peace, purpose, and personal power that emerged from those experiences.

The authors include Karen Weaver; Virginie Esprit; Sandy Forster; Grier Nielson; Gretchen Holmes PhD; Katherine McLeod; Nicole Piccolo; Philippa Scott; Jennifer Sharp; Natalie Ledwell; Cathy Domoney; Skye Domoney; Marie Alessi; Joanne Brooks; Paul Barnat; Sanja Hendrick; Tom Hendrick; Sharon Jones; Judy Myers; Dr. Julie Ducharme; Laura Muirhead; Alice Terry; Karen Perks; Dr. Wendel Noordzij; Linda Pierson; Stephanie Vaughan; Britta Jennings; Scott O’Meara; and Sandra Spadanuda.

Far more than a collection of stories, “Finding Peace Through Struggle” is the flagship publication of BYPP, a global movement dedicated to building emotional well-being, community connection, and radical compassion, starting in our own backyards. Each story is a torch of truth. Each voice is an invitation.

“The reason I’ve created The Backyard Peace Project is because we are living in one of the most disconnected times in history, yet human connection and inner peace have never been more vital. This is a place where people can access expert support that is compassionate, affordable, and accessible from anywhere in the world — so no one has to struggle alone. This book is a fundamental part of the movement,” said Domoney.

Together, they remind readers that they are not alone, they are not broken, and that healing is always possible. This book officially launched on World Peace Day, on September 21, 2025, with an international campaign including podcasts, virtual events, and community gatherings and is endorsed by world-renowned leaders including Jack Canfield, Natalie Ledwell, Dr. Julie Ducharme, and Sandy Forster. Access is now available for media and reviewers. To join the movement, request an interview, or become a BYPP ambassador, visit https://linktr.ee/cathydomoney.
