Tess Brooks Launches Leading Light To A Small Girl In A Big World, A Personal Story Of Faith, Hope, And Purpose
Shepherdsville, Kentucky – August 28, 2026 – Tess Brooks announces the launch of Leading Light To A Small Girl In A Big World, a deeply personal memoir centered on faith, perseverance, hope, family, and the belief that God remains present through every season of life.
For Tess Brooks, the book is much more than a recounting of personal experiences. It is the story of her life, the good, the bad, and everything in between, and of her belief that Jesus remained with her through it all.
“You are never alone. God is with you. Pain has a purpose,” Tess Brooks says.
This expresses the central message she hopes readers will carry with them.
In Leading Light To A Small Girl In A Big World, Tess Brooks shares a personal journey shaped by childhood anger and insecurity, family challenges, relentless bullying, rejection, spiritual struggles, faith, and transformation. Born to a teenage mother and raised between two families, she experienced moments that left her struggling with identity, belonging, and self-worth.
Throughout her story, Tess Brooks describes how faith and Scripture became sources of strength. Bible verses are woven into the narrative, connecting different seasons of her life with the spiritual lessons that helped carry her through them.
The memoir addresses the feelings of being unwanted, unworthy, unseen, or somehow a mistake. Through her testimony, Tess Brooks encourages readers to reject those ideas and instead consider that their lives have meaning and purpose.
Her story includes experiences with bullying, fractured family dynamics, anger, confusion, doubt, spiritual wandering, and the search for stability and belonging. It also reflects on the ways those difficult experiences became part of a larger journey toward faith, wisdom, strength, and purpose.
Tess Brooks uses both the trials and triumphs of her life as a testimony, sharing the experiences that shaped her while emphasizing the role faith played in helping her grow stronger and gain wisdom and insight.
Her journey traces the transformation from a girl struggling with anger, rejection, bullying, and uncertainty into a woman grounded in faith and family. Her story also includes becoming a National Honors Society student, a college graduate, a wife, and a mother.
Tess Brooks also credits her life with what she calls undeniable evidence of God’s faithfulness. After being diagnosed with cervical cancer, she came through treatment and full recovery. She was later told she would not be able to have more children, and became pregnant anyway. Her second son’s birth carried complications serious enough that she did not expect him to survive, yet he did, an outcome she still describes as nothing short of a miracle. Years of financial hardship followed, including bankruptcy and repeated job loss, yet through it all her family never went hungry, never lost their home, and never missed a bill. For Tess Brooks, these are not simply survival stories. For Tess Brooks, these experiences reflect her belief that God provides even when circumstances suggest otherwise.
At its core, Leading Light To A Small Girl In A Big World asks readers to reconsider the painful chapters of their own lives. Tess Brooks’ message is that difficult seasons do not mean a person has been forgotten or abandoned and that those experiences can become testimonies of redemption and purpose.
The book combines personal testimony with Scripture and reflects Tess Brooks’ conviction that God’s presence can remain constant even during periods of uncertainty, rejection, and hardship. Themes throughout the memoir include faith and perseverance through hardship, identity and belonging, the power of God’s love and purpose, overcoming bullying and self-doubt, finding strength in brokenness, and the importance of family and the relationships that shape a person’s life.
Tess Brooks wants readers to leave the book knowing they are not alone, that they are not a mistake, that pain has purpose, and that they are loved and seen. She hopes readers develop a more positive outlook on life and, above all, get to know Jesus or become curious enough to learn more about Him.
While Tess Brooks describes the book as being for a broad audience from tweens and older, its themes speak particularly to readers interested in Christian faith, inspirational personal testimony, spiritual growth, overcoming adversity, family relationships, and finding meaning through difficult experiences.
