Somehow, it’s June — and my new book, The Woman on the Ferry, is almost here! It officially launches on June 10, and I’m celebrating with a special pre-launch offer.
This is the most personal thing I’ve ever written. A story of hiking 1,000 miles to rediscover joy, redefine success, and reconnect with what matters most.
Early reviews are rolling in — and they’ve left me speechless:
An empowering read through and through, Brenda’s fierce and passionate attitude shines out of every sentence. The book holds a boundless treasure trove of strength, determination, resilience, and perseverance within its lines. - The Chrysalis BREW Project
. . . if you’ve ever sat in your car questioning your next move, if you’ve ever mourned a version of yourself that no longer fits, if you’ve ever found truth on a walking path or clarity at sunset, The Woman on the Ferry might feel like a kindred voice. The Book Reviewer
But at the heart of it all is one unforgettable encounter — a radiant woman I met years ago on a ferry in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
I knew her name once, but it didn’t stick. In the book, I call her Celeste.
She became my compass. My muse. My spark. Celeste shows up when I need her most — with wisdom, courage, and the kind of light you carry long after the ferry pulls away.
And now, my friends, I could use a little light from you, too.

Let’s launch this thing — together.
With gratitude,
Brenda
