Resilient Voices

Publisher and Anthologist Brenda Dempsey brings together 45 Voices to share their true stories of resilience, positivity and hope from a pandemic.


Sharing their experiences of surviving through a pandemic, and other stressful situations life throws at us, the 45 Voices come from all walks of life — from doctors and nurses, to parents and business owners — raising their voices and sharing their real-life inspirational stories, to show their bouncebackability and resilience. Each of the contributors are New-Found Heroes in their own way, baring their souls and finding the courage to allow themselves to be vulnerable, in a pandemic that in many ways unites us.


All profits of Resilient Voices will be donated to the NHS in gratitude for their commitment, dedication and going beyond the duty of their role to support, help and protect lives.
