Chilliwack, BC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/11/2013 -- Chilliwack, British Columbia – While everyone falls on tough times, few have experienced devastation like Kim Gemmell. However, in her compelling new book, Gemmell proves that the human spirit will always prevail over defeat.

‘Bravery: Our Journey of Faith, Hope & Love’ captures all that the author has lived through and shares it to the collective benefit of readers everywhere.

Synopsis:

Happy, peaceful lives can be swept up in a whirlwind of upheaval and disaster. Kim Gemmell knows this all too well after her quiet life spirals out of control when her second child, her son Avery, is born with a serious, life-threatening heart defect. Having a baby is supposed to be one of the most joyous experiences in a woman's life-but not this time, not for Kim.

Readers will be captivated by this rollercoaster ride Kim's life takes them on. One after another, devastating circumstances beyond Kim's control continue to bombard her and her family and test their will. Readers will be amazed by their strength and resiliency as they face a series of tragedies. Laughter and tears will fill their soul as they wrap themselves in this heartwarming true story.

Readers will be left with a better understanding of the power of the human spirit, and their heart will forever harbor a greater compassion and gratitude for their own lives.

As the author explains, her story is one that needs to be told.

“My life was suddenly submerged into an array of chaotic circumstances; each one is recounted to readers with no holds barred. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse something happened to provide hope and strengthen faith. Spiritual messages started arriving from my grandma in Heaven, and an acquaintance here on earth provided the only belief of an end to this Peril. I quickly learned a lot about hope and strength,” says Gemmell.

Continuing, “My story will educate and entertain all walks of life. Above all, people will come to understand that we as humans are stronger than we thought we ever could be. We see firsthand the ability to rise above great adversity and find a new appreciation for life. Whether our children are young or old, typical or special needs, my narrative promotes a deeper awareness of gratitude towards all life, and replenishes unconditional love that can sometimes get lost.”

Since its release, the book has garnered a string of rave reviews.

“Kim Gemmell writes a story that is truly inspirational. The story reveals a family that survives tragedy and loss with such strength and endurance and coming out of it all with the most positive of outlooks.
