Bio:  Motherhood is often seen as life's greatest joy, but for Brooke, it marked the beginning of a nightmare. Just weeks after surviving a debilitated postpartum psychosis, she was struck down by complete muscular paralysis, all she could do was blink. Later, she was diagnosed with degenerative genetic disorders, facing a lifesaving surgery halfway around the world. 

Instead of succumbing to the darkness of her circumstances, Brooke found hope and light through God's lessons, learning to live life to the fullest despite the overwhelming obstacles in her path. Brooke’s mission now is to teach others that healing is possible. Happiness is within anyone’s grasp. Will you grab it?
 Through Fire and Grace is a powerful spiritual guide for anyone struggling with pain—whether from abuse, a faith transition, chronic illness, or a mood disorder. Brooke leads you through the hardest moments of her life, showing how she got through them, stronger—and how you can, too
