Scares to Prove It: Hard Truths, Good Times, and Bad Advice from the Great Outdoors: Bryan Mellage

We all have scars—some you can see, and some you can’t.
They tell the story of where we’ve been,
what we’ve survived, and how we’ve healed.

Scars to Prove It is a humorous yet powerful reflection on the moments that cut deep and the grace that follows. Through quiet mornings, unexpected pain, and the long work of mending, this book explores what it means to live a life marked not by perfection, but by perseverance.

Whether your scars are from loss, love, or life itself, this story reminds you that every wound can lead to wisdom—and that healing doesn’t erase the hurt, it transforms it. From poignant reflections to laugh-out-loud moments of pure ridiculousness, you'll laugh, cry, and find glimmers of your own memories.
