Brooke Brittain doesn't just write about grit — she embodies it. This is a profile in courage and a beacon for anyone who's ever led through the storm instead of waiting for it to pass.

Damon West
Bestselling AuthorThe Coffee Bean

Brooke has artfully mapped the landscape between grief and grit, showing us that during times of trauma, leaders need not choose between self-care and caring for others.
