As the wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles, leaving a path of heartbreak and destruction, we at Briley & Baxter Publications are proud to share that Stacy Padula, the author of “The Forces Within,” has made a profoundly moving decision. She will be donating 100% of the royalties from her newly released book to The American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles this week, specifically to aid the victims of the current wildfires.

The Forces Within” was released today in an unabridged format, offering readers a deep dive into the human spirit’s resilience. This book, known for its emotional depth and narrative power, now serves a dual purpose: to inspire and to provide immediate, tangible support to those affected by the wildfires.

The American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles has been pivotal in disaster relief, providing essential services like shelter, food, emotional support, and resources to those whose lives have been turned upside down by these fires. Each purchase of “The Forces Within” becomes more than just acquiring a new read; it’s a direct contribution to helping Los Angeles residents in their darkest hours.

Here’s what your support means:

  • Immediate Relief: Every dollar from the book sales will go towards providing emergency aid to wildfire victims, assisting with basic necessities and long-term recovery.
  • Community Healing: By supporting the Red Cross, we’re aiding in physical recovery and fostering a sense of community and solidarity in crisis.
  • A Story of Resilience: “The Forces Within” speaks to the strength found in adversity, mirroring the spirit of the Red Cross’s work and the community’s response to these wildfires.

We invite you to join us in this effort, not only to immerse yourself in the narrative of “The Forces Within” but to extend that narrative into real-world action. Your purchase can light a beacon of hope for those in despair, showing them they are not alone in this fight.

Thank you for your compassion, for reading “The Forces Within,” and for standing with Stacy Padula and Briley & Baxter Publications in this critical moment to support the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles. Together, we can help turn the page from devastation to recovery.
