Elizabeth B. Brown

Johnson City resident's newest book released

August 31, 2016

Johnson City resident Elizabeth B. Brown's fifth book was released recently. "Standing Up When Life Falls Down Around You" was published by Fleming H. Revell/Baker Publishing Group.

Her first book, "Sunrise Tomorrow, Coping with the Death of a Child." was written after her 6-year-old child died. Her publisher says "Elizabeth Brown writes about anchors and lifelines that pull you from the swamp of emotions that threaten to drown you in life's difficult times - the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, the betrayal of a friend, the turmoil of complex family issues. In those world-rocking times we hang on to hurts and wither, or we make choices that help us navigate through the rough seas."

Brown began writing as a college freshman with a series of newspaper articles. "I actually first tasted the thrill of writing when the Bristol Herald Courier and two other newspapers published a series of weekly articles. I wrote "Traveling by Trailer' as our family traveled around the United States with a travel trailer - quite an adventure for our family of six with children ranging in age from college to 2 years old," she says.

She is the author of four other books: "Sunrise Tomorrow, Coping with the Death of a Child," "The Joy Choice; Living Successfully with Screwed Up People," "Surviving the Loss of a Child, Hope for Grieving Parents" and "Working Successfully with Screwed-Up People."

Brown is a teacher, speaker and professional counselor. For more information, visit www.elizabethbbrown.com.
