The Making of Grace Hamilton

Vowing never to feel helpless again, she embraced the prepper lifestyle, learning survival skills to protect her family if SHTF (that’s 'stuff hits the fan' in prepper lingo). Her vivid imagination and knack for daydreaming soon channeled this resolve into fiction, crafting stories that throw characters into worst-case scenarios and ask, 'What would you do?'
