In this episode an Appalachian native shares her life journey of strength after trauma.  Brandi Cox's recently released memoir, "In Better Hands  An Appalachian Memoir of Healing and Grace," follows a story of sorrow, growth and understanding ultimately finding peace after abandonment, adoption and grief.  Hear from Brandi as she describes how Appalachia has shaped her into the person she is today, and how the resiliency she learned growing up has carried her throughout her life.  Take a listen to hear her explain what she hopes others can gain from reading her memoir and how she broke through generational curses to live her best life.  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week - Watauga Butchery!
