Hello. My name is Anthony Goulet. I am an author who resides in Texas. Our latest book, which was released on March 4th, 2025, is Broken Home, Healed Nest. Our publisher is Medicine Wheel Publishing.
Broken Home, Healed Nest is a story about suicide prevention and intervention from an Indigenous and spiritual perspective, for ages 14 and up. I am honored and blessed to have coauthored this book with my friend, Pershlie "Perci" Ami, who is an author, actress, and elder from the Hopi tribe in Arizona.
My full-time job is with Roy Maas Youth Alternatives in San Antonio and Boerne, Texas as the Director of Training. Before moving into the full-time role of Training Director, I worked for many years as a street-level Gang Interventionist and Street Outreach Worker in Dallas, Houston, and Montgomery County, Texas. I was on-call 24/7 for over a decade, facilitating human trafficking interventions, suicide interventions, and helping missing and runaway youth and young adults get to safety and reunite with safe relatives.
It's been a journey! A journey I am grateful for. And so is my journey of being an author. Which is why we would love for you to consider sharing our book with the youth, young adults and families you serve.
Broken Home, Healed Nest Overview: Jessica has contemplated suicide for a while now. Grappling with the reverberating grief of losing her beloved grandmother and the trauma of a broken home, young Jessica is reaching a place so far from herself, her community, and the traditional Indigenous teachings she once lived by, it is frightening.
When it all becomes too much, Jessica attempts to take the final step over the ledge.
What follows is a journey through the sacred spaces within memory, song, and the spirit world, guided by two playful tricksters—eagles, who happen to have lifetimes of wisdom to share. With a love of riddles and soaring beyond the edges of possibility, they turn and twist Jessica’s reality until she can finally ground herself in what she has known all along, and allow the love, strength and voice of her beloved grandmother to once again be remembered and heard. The trajectory of Jessica’s life will be changed forever.
From Hopi Elder, Pershlie "Perci" Ami, and Street Outreach Worker, Anthony Goulet, comes a creative, sensitive, and thoughtful approach to the topic of suicide. Combined, they have over forty years of experience in youth development and suicide prevention.
