Praise for ‘Beautiful Scars’

Our first book, “Beautiful Scars,” has received not only national media attention but accolades from renowned authors and advocates. Here’s what they’re saying about the book and the story of co-author Kilee Brookbank:

“It took me many years – decades even – to embrace my fire, my scars, my story, my gifts – the way that Kilee has naturally done in just a few short years. ‘Beautiful Scars’ is a reminder that we don’t always get to choose the path we walk in life, but we can always choose the manner in which we walk it. Kilee, a heartfelt thank you for the reminder.”

John O’Leary, national bestselling author of “ON FIRE: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life” and inspirational speaker

“Kilee’s spirit shines through her every word. ‘Beautiful Scars’ is a down-to-earth primer on how to let our hearts define us, not our scars.”

J.R. Martinez, actor, U.S. Army veteran, bestselling author and burn survivor
