Ginny Brown Livres

Kirby Brown was a seeker who lived a life of passion and adventure. When she and two others died in a sweat lodge at a self-help retreat on October 8, 2009, it shattered her family and friends. Kirby's mother and sister detail how they learned about Kirby's ugly death, struggled through their grief, and kept moving forward through the trial of the criminally negligent guru in charge, James Arthur Ray-international best-selling motivational speaker who had been featured in "The Secret" and on Oprah. Following the trial, the family founded SEEK Safely Inc., since all seekers are entitled to safe self-improvement journeys. Even through their multi-layered grieving process, Ginny and Jean Brown wanted to live as Kirby did-with passion and love. In sharing their story, they offer an invitation into their private hell, an immersion in their grief, and a story of evolution after trauma. A portion of the proceeds of the book will go to SEEK Safely Inc., a 501c3 non-profit.

The book explores the struggle between cherishing perfect moments and confronting reality, highlighting how clinging to the past can limit personal growth. It emphasizes the importance of discovering one's true self, urging readers to identify what genuinely works for them. By understanding their core identity, individuals can transcend their fears and embrace a greater sense of purpose. This journey of self-discovery encourages readers to let go of restrictive patterns and find authenticity in their lives.
