Inspiring women through stories, coaching, and teaching
‘With prose that is luminous and lyrical,
The Bright Unknown is a compelling read from the first page to the last.’

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
It all started with a promise I made at age eleven in the late 1980s. By 2011 my sweet “Mammie” and I sat side by side and celebrated signing the first several hundred books. Little did we know that her story would be read around the world and reach 50k in sales!
With 50,000 copies sold, this tender memoir about the author’s Amish grandmother has touched readers worldwide.
"When considering my life I am struck by my season of spring. It's a journey of love lost and found, heartbreak, fears, and even dreams come true. I am not sure that in my later seasons I would feel so deeply, love so strongly, and strive with such desperation if it weren't for what I experienced as a young girl in the bittersweet spring of my life. Here are my memories, how I remember the season of my girlhood. Welcome to spring."

Stories of historical women to inspire today’s women!
“I knew Elizabeth Byler Younts was a wonderful writer, but her lyricism, empathy, and psychological understanding of the broken human condition took The Bright Unknown to a whole different level. I didn’t read Brighton’s story for mere endorsement; I read her story because her plight haunted me. This is the kind of journey that has the power to change lives.”
