The Wound Makes the Medicine is Lighthorse’s deepest and most personal work yet.

A series of healing remedies in thought and prose, the book centers on the internal challenges of suffering and offers affirmations for being with pain rather than avoiding it.

The Wound Makes the Medicine helps create conditions for change within, without forcing or expecting transformation.

An enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Lighthorse channels indigenous wisdom combined with lived experience to place a healing salve on the hearts of readers.
