Born A Fighter - A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Resilience

by Elizabeth Brewer

Overview

Born A Fighter - A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Resilience is a deeply personal, unfiltered memoir about survival, strength, and the relentless fight to keep moving forward. Elizabeth Brewer's journey begins with a premature birth, defying medical expectations before she even took her first breath. That battle for survival set the tone for a life filled with hardship, navigating a chaotic childhood, military service, love, betrayal, and the ultimate heartbreak of losing a child. This book is not a neatly packaged story of overcoming adversity, it is raw, real, and at times, devastating. Elizabeth takes readers through her experiences with trauma, abuse, military life, and personal loss, all while discovering the resilience that carried her forward. She opens her heart to share the moments that broke her, the battles that shaped her, and the love that gave her strength to rebuild. Through grief, betrayal, and the darkest nights of her soul, she found a way to keep going, not because it was easy, but because she had no other choice. Born A Fighter: A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Resilience is not just about enduring pain; it is about reclaiming life, learning to love again, and embracing the light that exists even in the shadows. For those who have endured heartbreak, loss, and the weight of life's hardest battles, this memoir is a testament to resilience, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, strength is found in the choice to keep going. Trigger Warning: This memoir contains discussions of trauma, abuse, military conflict, sexual violence, grief, loss, childhood illness, cancer, domestic violence, infidelity, and medical trauma.

About the Author

Elizabeth Brewer is a retired U.S. Army veteran, educator, strategic solutions expert, legal professional, and advocate but above all, she is a fighter. Born prematurely and told she wouldn't survive; her journey has been one of resilience from the very beginning. Her memoir, Born A Fighter – A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Resilience, is more than just a story, it's a testament to the power of perseverance, the depths of grief, and the unwavering strength to rebuild after loss. As a military service member, mother, and advocate, Elizabeth has faced challenges that tested her at every turn, yet she has never let hardship define her. Instead, she has transformed pain into purpose, using her story to inspire and uplift others. From military life to single parenthood, from marriage and divorce, from love to heartbreak, from devastating loss to rebuilding from the ground up, Elizabeth's story is one of surviving the unimaginable and coming out stronger. Losing her son, Matthew, to leukemia changed her forever, but it also ignited her mission to ensure that others facing similar battles never feel alone. She holds a Master's in Teaching from Liberty University and a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology with a minor in Military Science from Troy University. After serving in the U.S. Army, specializing in human resources and strategic problem-solving, she transitioned into education and legal services, where she now helps individuals navigate complex legal processes, making it affordable and handled with confidence. Yet beyond her professional accolades, her most cherished role is that of a mother. She understands the balancing act of career shifts, military life, personal growth, and parenthood. Whether advocating for her children's futures, facing the sleepless nights of uncertainty, or finding strength in moments of darkness, Elizabeth knows firsthand what it means to fight for the life you want. Her advocacy is deeply personal, rooted in her commitment to veterans, childhood cancer awareness, diabetes, mental health, animal welfare, and Christian-based nonprofits. A firm believer in second chances and new beginnings, she has provided loving homes to numerous rescued animals, just as she has rebuilt her own life time and time again. Through her writing, military service, legal advocacy, and community involvement, Elizabeth dedicates herself to helping others navigate their own battles. Whether she's supporting veterans, standing with families affected by childhood cancer, advocating for domestic violence survivors, or using her voice to empower others, her mission is clear: to turn pain into power and to remind others that no matter how many times life knocks you down, you can always rise again.
