About the Book

What began as a peaceful journey through the jungles of Thailand turned into a life-or-death struggle when Mark was attacked by an elephant—breaking his back, shattering his pelvis, and leaving him on the edge of death.

In this inspiring memoir, Mark shares his path from trauma to triumph, guided by love, spirituality, and resilience. Along the way, he explores deep healing, unexpected wisdom, and the courage it takes to rebuild not just the body—but the soul.

Crushed by an Elephant is a moving reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is light, growth, and purpose waiting to be found.
