In The Press
“Vulnerable and raw, Brackett’s autobiographical narrative takes
you on a metamorphic journey from trauma to triumph, as his story of
abandonment and addiction reveals a path from self-doubt to
self-discovery. With resilience, he shows how tragedy can become
an opportunity for growth.”
