When Brave is Your Only Option: Choosing Courage When You're Given No Choice

By Paula Hall

When fear becomes your shadow...can you still find your light?

Paula Hall didn't feel brave when she was diagnosed with stage-four cancer just weeks after having a baby. She felt terrified, lost, and anything but strong. But she kept showing up-to motherhood, to treatment, to a version of life she didn't ask for.

When Brave is Your Only Option is a memoir and self-help guide for anyone trying to survive what wasn't supposed to happen. With a blend of humor and heart, sharp insight, and raw emotional truth, Paula tells the story of living through trauma while still finding moments of gratitude and levity.

Each of the book's fourteen chapters includes a "courage cheat code"-practical, heartfelt lessons for navigating the chaos of illness, grief, identity loss, and imperfect healing.

Inspiring and deeply human, this book reminds us that bravery isn't about being fearless or flawless. Sometimes it's just quietly refusing to give up.
