About Rebel Brown, Thriving On The Other Side
All my life I've been a perfectionist. No matter what I do, I don't quit until it's perfect. That drives a lot of people nuts, but it's just the way I am. I'm also the responsible one, the one you turn to no matter what you need. I take care of broken winged birds of the feathered and human variety, plus four-legged anythings.

We'd explore all the triggers created in my small southern hometown with the tough little kids, explore why these events happened to me – what I was doing to create them? But we never found a way to stop the roller coaster.
Three years ago the roller coaster derailed and left me curled up in a ball on the floor of my kitchen, praying to whatever God to just take me, to let me die because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I'd been betrayed in the worst of ways by someone I trusted with my soul. He broke my heart, opening the door to a new world on The Other Side of Me. And so my story begins....
