Description
“Kilee’s spirit shines through her every word. Beautiful Scars is a down-to-earth primer on how to let our hearts define us, not our scars.” — J.R. Martinez, Actor, U.S. Army veteran, bestselling author, and burn survivor
A moment can change everything …
Kilee Brookbank was a typical sixteen-year-old, but her last ordinary day erupted in an explosion that consumed her house, burning forty-five percent of her body and sending her to the brink of death. After thirty-eight days of surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and excruciating pain, Kilee had to discover how to live again. With unwavering support from her mom, Lori, and the rest of her family, Kilee faced her journey with determination, strength, and a positive attitude that inspired not only her community, but people around the world.
Told together by Kilee and Lori, Beautiful Scars is a story of recovery, healing, and hope, reminding us all that we’re never powerless, never alone, and that each challenge we face helps make us the people we are meant to be.
Now a thriving college student, Kilee has become an author, advocate, and philanthropist focused on helping other young burn survivors and their families. She has met with individual survivors and their parents and spoken to school groups, burn camps and civic organizations across the country.
Her charity, the Kilee Gives Back Foundation, has raised more than $300,000 for Shriners Hospitals for Children-Cincinnati, and Kilee has partnered with Shriners Hospitals to promote its national Be Burn Aware campaign.
… It’s what you do with each moment that defines you.
A portion of the proceeds from sales of Beautiful Scars: A Life Redefined will benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children-Cincinnati.
Features eight-page color photo insert!

Carolyn E, Reviewer
Beautiful Scars is the inspiring true story of Kilee Brookbank. Kilee was burned over 45% of her body in a gas explosion in her home. The hard work and dedication that she shows to rebuild her life, one painful step at a time is heartwrenching to read, but a reflection on deciding what is important in life and going for it. Kilee's recovery is a gift that she has not only given to herself but all those who have suffered burns like her...and to anyone who reads her story. Don't pass this one by, Kilee is truly a miracle!
