Soaring Spirits Founder, CEO and 2021 Top Ten CNN Hero Michele Neff Hernandez has published her first book, DIFFERENT AFTER YOU: Rediscovering Yourself and Healing after Grief and Trauma.

This book has been sixteen years in the making, and offers practical advice, personal encouragement, and relevant analogies for helping anyone who has experienced a life altering trauma to build a life of meaning in the aftermath. Based on her personal experience after the death of her husband, Phillip, in a cycling accident, this book is a love letter to anyone who is grieving the death of someone, or something, that they love.
