Louise Beaubrun-Macaluso is a psychologist who is passionate about life. Her near-death experience and the ensuing struggles after her burn injury taught her to appreciate being alive and not take it for granted. One of her primary goals is to pay it forward by reaching out to those who are facing life challenges, which can sometimes seem to be overwhelmingly hopeless. She enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, as well as simple pleasures like cuddling up with a good book, movies, and good food. Beaubrun-Macaluso currently lives in New Jersey. From the author. "This book is an account of the power of believing in a higher power in the most horrific moments and experiencing tangible results. At the age of nineteen, my world came crashing down after a fatal house fire, which tested me in every way imaginable. The heart-wrenching details of the aftermath is narrated in my story of hardships, survival and divinely orchestrated redemption. I went from being a healthy nineteen-year-old to becoming physically disabled with severe burns. The sufferings (physical and emotional) were monumental. Had anyone told me I would experience what I went through, I would have brushed it off. Not because I felt invincible, but rather I did not imagine I could endure what I have endured. It was an arduous learning experience, which has shaped who I am today. I learned a secret that enabled me to beat the odds and succeed, in spite of the enormous adversities I encountered. I wrote this book to share what I've learned with those who might be going through some rough patches in life".  http://brokentobeblessed.com/
