NY Times Best Selling Author Don Mann, US Navy SEAL Team 6 (retired) stated Courageously Broken “Is a fascinating and informative read for those who did not serve as it portrays how life in these communities, especially as a female, so often plays out.” 

Everyone has a story to tell and scars that won't heal. This is the story of a young, idealistic teen who leaves a small town and abusive father to join the Navy in a refreshingly down to earth memoir of one woman’s journey of self-discovery. She embraces life with passion and courage, from training and partying with Navy SEALs to skydiving and joining the police force, but when tragic events while serving her country led to years of nightmares, depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, she must learn to navigate life through the heartache and tears until the laughter and love return.
