During a time of personal trial, Brooke turned to her faith and decided to make some changes. {Book provided for review/feature consideration}

She has appeared in national magazines including Oxygen, Women's Fitness, Redbook, American Baby, GQ, and on national television, including on ABC, NBC, CBS, ESPN, and Fox.
