Best-selling author, U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and mental health advocate, Ashlee Leppert announces the release of her highly anticipated new book, The Hurricane Within Volume 2: Beyond the Storm — a deeply moving continuation of her personal and spiritual journey through trauma, healing, and triumph.
Following the success of her debut memoir, The Hurricane Within, which chronicled her experiences as a helicopter rescue flight crew member during Hurricane Harvey and the personal battles she faced in its aftermath, Leppert’s newest volume takes readers beyond survival—into the heart of renewal, faith, and rediscovery.
“Beyond the Storm is about what happens after the chaos ends—the quiet, the questions, and the courage it takes to rebuild yourself from within,” says Leppert. “It’s for anyone who’s ever wondered how to move forward when the world around them—and inside them—has been torn apart.”
Through raw honesty, spiritual reflection, and her signature message of hope, Ashlee Leppert invites readers to walk with her as she navigates life’s second storm: the aftermath. Volume 2 explores themes of faith, forgiveness, identity, and purpose, offering inspiration to those seeking light in their darkest moments.
Ashlee Leppert’s work has been recognized nationwide—she was honored at the 2018 State of the Union address by President Trump for her heroic efforts during Hurricane Harvey and has since dedicated her platform to empowering others through mental health advocacy, veteran support, and faith-based healing.
With The Hurricane Within Volume 2: Beyond the Storm, Leppert once again proves that even after devastation, there is beauty, growth, and grace waiting on the other side.
