Book revenues go toward a charitable shelter brook will put together for homeless women and children.

Her own experience of being raped, homeless, feeling alone, intimidated, even suicidal, because of all her experiences in life, drug addiction, and being consumed in the corruption of the underworld has given her the heart and desire to give as much as she can. The grace in which she feels she has received and the way in which she has overcome so many obstacles guides her to share when and how she is able. The first chapter "The Castle" gives a short story version of brook’s life, written in a narrative form that will open any heart, as she shares with you her struggle and her triumph.
