Jeff Angel Doucet posted that, after years of “surviving, rebuilding, and learning to come home to myself,” the memoir Fighting to Come Home is finished and published. The post describes the book as “a true story of trauma, survival, motherhood, accountability, and hope.”

The cover names the author as Angel Willard and uses the subtitle-style line: “A true story of trauma, survival and motherhood.” It also includes the quote: “I wasn’t fighting to come home to a place. I was fighting to come home to myself.”

What the listing says

Amazon’s Canadian product page lists the paperback as 318 pages, in English, published July 12, 2026, with publisher shown as Independently published and ISBN-13 979-8186911647. The page lists the paperback at $12.99 at the time of capture.

Amazon’s author bio describes Angel Willard as a Canadian author from a small town in British Columbia. The bio says her writing is grounded in lived experience after trauma, a serious accident, chronic pain, injury litigation and long-term recovery.

Why it matters locally

NewsForBC usually focuses on source-linked public records, politics, courts and community issues. Local books matter too, especially when they give B.C. readers a first-person account of survival, injury, motherhood, accountability and recovery outside the normal institutional press-release cycle.

For readers, the source trail is simple: the Facebook post announced the book, the cover identifies the memoir and author, and Amazon provides the public purchase pages. The deeper life story belongs to the author’s memoir; this article links the book without overstating what NewsForBC can independently verify.
