“The Courage to Rise” by Dr. Daria Kathleen Sherman is a soul-stirring manifesto for those who have been broken—and are ready to become whole.
This book is not about bypassing pain. It’s about transmuting it. Sherman invites readers into the sacred alchemy of rising: the moment when grief becomes grit, when silence births song, and when the shattered self begins to shine.
What the Book Illuminates:
• Resilience as a spiritual practice. Rising isn’t just survival—it’s a reclamation of soul.
• The anatomy of awakening. Sherman maps the emotional, metaphysical, and biological shifts that occur when we choose to rise.
• Stories of transformation. From personal loss to collective trauma, she weaves narratives that validate suffering and celebrate rebirth.
• A call to remember. That we are not our wounds—we are the wisdom that emerges from them.
Written with poetic reverence and fierce compassion, The Courage to Rise is for anyone who has faced the abyss and wondered if light would ever return. It’s a guide, a companion, and a mirror—reflecting the truth that rising is not a destination, but a devotion.
