Sarah was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. She joined the Army after graduating from high school, and she served as a military police officer in Iraq. During her time in Iraq, Sarah saw combat and was exposed to the horrors of war. She returned home from Iraq with PTSD and other mental health issues.
After returning home, Sarah struggled to adjust to civilian life. She felt isolated and alone. She had nightmares and flashbacks, and she was constantly on edge. She also had difficulty finding work, and she felt like she didn't belong anywhere.
Sarah eventually found help through therapy and support groups. She also found solace in nature and writing. She began writing about her experiences in Iraq, and she found that writing helped her to process her emotions and to heal.
In War Flower, Sarah shares her story with raw honesty and vulnerability. She writes about the challenges she faced, the lessons she learned, and the ways in which she found healing and hope. Her book is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
War has a profound impact on those who experience it. Soldiers who return from war may face a variety of challenges, including:
- Physical injuries
- Mental health issues, such as PTSD and depression

- Difficulty finding work
- Substance abuse
- Homelessness
The impact of war can be long-lasting. Veterans may struggle with the effects of war for years or even decades after they return home.
There is no easy answer to the question of how to heal from the effects of war. However, there are a number of things that veterans can do to help themselves heal, including:
- Seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor
- Joining a support group for veterans
- Reconnecting with family and friends
- Participating in activities that bring them joy and meaning
- Writing or journaling about their experiences
Finding healing and hope after war is a journey. It takes time, effort, and support. But it is a journey that is worth taking.
War Flower is a powerful and inspiring memoir that sheds light on the challenges faced by veterans after returning home from war. Sarah Fain's story is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. It is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever faced adversity.
If you are a veteran, please know that you are not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help you succeed. Reach out to a friend, family member, therapist, or support group for help. You deserve to heal from the effects of war and to live a happy and fulfilling life.
