grit + grace

a journey towards resilience

BY angela devlen

With rawness and intimacy, in her debut book, Angela shares a portrait of her journey where she explores the complex nature of relationships, the (often overlooked) impacts of trauma, and the challenges of starting over after loss.


Weaved throughout the book are inspiring stories of the women who have shaped Angela's perspective on resilience. She aims to answer the question, "How can we become more resilient?"
The stories she shares invite us to reexamine how we see ourselves and to investigate how our past is threaded through the choices we make and who we become. She inspires us to imagine what's possible for our lives, even when it feels like we are being asked to overcome some of our hardest challenges.


Part memoir, part call to action, Angela's book asks us, even in the face of hardship, to delve into who we are and what we are meant to do. Angela offers a roadmap for navigating change and healing as an invitation to create a life in alignment with what matters to us most.

PRAISE FOR GRIT + GRACE

“This chronicle of life is honest and engaging and written in an approachable manner where you will easily identify yourself within her story. Allowing yourself to be exposed as she invites you to walk with her through experiences and reflections on resentment, grief, burnout, healing, grace and more, it just may open you to opportunities you have not previously considered.”

“A great read for anyone who has ever gone through (or is going through) a rock bottom, or someone trying to understand the struggles of someone they care about. If you’re a mom, a professional, an entrepreneur, a woman trying to keep it altogether or someone trying to understand anyone of the people I just described, this book is a must read.”

“Told through the lens of learning, the reader is prompted to stop and reflect multiple times throughout the book. The journal prompts and exercises are insightful and thought provoking and serve as a brilliant respite during the read to stop and remember the obstacles we have overcome in our own lives; how strong we are and how resilient we have been and can be.”
