Beautiful Scars is the story of burn survivor Kilee Brookbank, told together by Kilee and her mom, Lori Highlander, founder of KiCam Projects. The desire to share Kilee’s story of determination, hope, and healing inspired Highlander’s decision to start KiCam as a way to give voice to other authors with remarkable stories of survival and recovery.

“We are thrilled to receive this award, and we thank the IBPA for honoring us and for supporting indie publishers every day,” Highlander says. “We have an exceptional team at KiCam, and we’re telling exceptional stories. Our family’s story is only the beginning. There is so much more in store!”

Kilee and Lori will be signing Beautiful Scars June 1 at Book Expo America in New York City.
