Behind the Patch: One Woman’s Outlaw Road to Freedom
by Helen “HelKat” Parkins
🏆 Two-Time Global Book Awards Bronze Medal Winner
(Medical Books & Self-Help / Personal Transformation)
What happens when a woman’s body turns against her — and the world expects her to disappear quietly?
In this raw, unfiltered memoir, Helen “HelKat” Parkins takes readers inside a life shaped by cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, betrayal, and a motorcycle culture that both challenged and saved her. Behind the Patch is not a polished inspiration story. It is a survivor’s truth, told from the inside out.
Through hospital rooms, broken relationships, outlaw roads, and fierce sisterhood, HelKat explores what it means to fight for your life when your strength is questioned, your loyalty is tested, and your body refuses to cooperate. This is a story about learning how to stand when everything hurts — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — and still choosing not to give up.
Recognized by the Global Book Awards in both Medical Books and Self-Help / Personal Transformation, this book speaks to readers who are:
Living with chronic illness or disability
Recovering from trauma, betrayal, or abuse
Navigating identity after loss
Searching for meaning, grit, and purpose beyond survival
More than a memoir, Behind the Patch is a testament to resilience — the kind that isn’t pretty, but is real.
If you’ve ever felt invisible because of what you’ve endured, this book will remind you that your story still matters.
