“Hey, So, I read the book and I really liked it. Not only was it descriptive, but it was detailed enough to understand the character development that happens throughout the book. The book was very graphic, however, it didn’t shy away from the truth of the situation which any reader would appreciate. Overall, this memoir was a good read.”

“I received Phoenix Q. Brown book in the mail yesterday and decided I’ll read a few pages before heading to bed. Well let me tell you I read the book from front to back last night. I thank you for being so open, honest, and willing to share your story with others. I am a strong believer that we never just go through things for ourselves but we experience those things to help someone else along our journey. So thank you again Phoenix Q. Brown and ladies purchase your copy to support!" 

“The Rise of Resilience reminds us that life is not always sugar and spice for our girls. Phoenix shows us the hurt and pain as well as the indomitable spirit of resilience. This truth and healing narrative is a page turner. Can’t wait for the sequel. Zenell B. Brown

“I loved the book, I read it in 2 days. The darkest secrets and feelings being revealed to open a dialog for a person to speak up, and tell the truth without being ashamed. The book was very captivating!”

“The book is a detailed, moving and insightful message not only for a victim of a challenging upbringing but for anyone who is associated with someone that has experienced a challenging upbringing.

This book transcends a message to anyone who cares about the circumstances shared within this great read. I strongly recommend The Rise to Resilience; especially to those who need to empower themselves to take the steps necessary to break a cycle.”

“I finished your book....first book I've finished in a few months and I just have to say...WOW. I can't wait for the next part of Phoenix's story. I loved it. You are a very talented and captivating writer. I believe a book like this would be beneficial to many young teen black girls. Many of us can relate to parts of Phoenix's experiences. Loved it.”

“I think your story is a great one and I appreciate you telling your truth and story. Although you put emphasis on your story being similar yet yours makes me as the reader really see you as the author. You're story made me more accepting of things in my own past. Although the beginning was tough to get through as it would anyone with a heart, me knowing you're gaining empowerment through it all is so inspirational!”
