A New York Times Best Seller

“My life was a complete mess, and God bless all of it. Because it’s in the messes where we learn the most - as long as we slow down enough to realize what God is trying to show us.”

Suddenly in the spotlight, 24-year-old Hannah Brown realized that she wasn’t sure what she wanted. After years of competing in beauty pageants, and then starring on The Bachelorette and Dancing with the Stars, she had become incredibly visible. There she was, in her early 20s, with millions around the world examining and weighing in on her every decision. She found herself wondering what it would mean to live on her terms. What it would mean to stop seeking approval from others and decide - for the first time - what it was she wanted from her own life.

An honest and earnest examination of her own mid-20s, God Bless This Mess is a memoir that doesn’t claim to have all the answers. Hannah knows she doesn’t have all the answers. What she does have is the insight of someone who has spent critical years of her youth under public scrutiny. Thus what emerges is a quarter-life memoir that speaks to the set of difficulties young women face, and how to move through them with grace. By pushing against her engrained need to seek approval, and learning how to think critically about her own goals and desires, Hannah inspires others to do the same - and to embrace the messiness that comes hand-in-hand with self-discovery (even it that sometimes means falling flat on your face).

Using her time on The Bachelorette as a launching pad, Hannah doesn’t shy away from the most painful experiences of her life: moments when her faith was tested, when she feared it was lost, and the moments when she reclaimed it on national television. “And Jesus still loves me.” Fans will be inspired by the never-before-told stories: the ones about facing depression and anxiety during her pageant years, the ways in which therapy and journaling have proven to be a saving grace, and the previously private moments - both at home and on television - that have shaped the star’s outlook.

Honest and emotionally urgent, God Bless This Mess is a reminder that true growth doesn’t come without strife - and it’s through those dark, messy moments that self-acceptance and love can bloom.

An Inspiring & Emotional Bio

Reading this felt like having a conversation with Hannah, only you can’t reach out to offer a supportive hug. It is heart breaking to learn about all of those times when I enjoyed watching on the Batchelor, Bachelorette, or DWTS that she wasn’t always the happy woman that she seemed to be. The pressure she put on herself to be everything to us, the public , and her friends & family, was more than most people could bear. I recommend this book to everyone. Hannah provides an honest account of how societal & cultural pressures have shaped her life and choices.

Yes there is also plenty of tea to enjoy too!!

Thank you Hannah!!!!
Stay strong

A Great Suprise!

A suprisingly great read for any Christian, young woman trying to reconnect with herself or God! Loved it!

Authentic and inspiring

I bought Hannah’s book but couldn’t wait for the delivery so I bought the audible version and finished it that day. I have now listened 2x and each time I keep learning more about her. (Love her accent) She is so raw and honest about her childhood trauma, pageant days, dating, Bachelorette life and her faith. She takes ownership of her mistakes and explains that it’s during those times you fail is when you learn the most life lessons. She has done a ton of work including therapy to get to this point. I totally recommend this book as she is so relatable and inspirational!!

Must read book, touches the soul

I really like the honesty and vulnerability of this book. I can relate one way or another. Great life lessons. Every young girl should read.

Well worth the read

I’m in my 40s and if I had had this book when I was a teen or in my 20s or even 30’s it would’ve saved me so much time and heartache. Hats off to Hannah Brown for her honesty, and being vulnerable to share her life story. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Don't judge a book by its cover!

After getting to know Hannah B on the bachelor and bachelorette, I felt somewhat close to her. I knew I had to get the book! I'm so glad I did because there is so much more to her than just a pretty face! Her life has made her overcome so many situations that so many of us overlook. I encourage any one who doubts themselves or needs to know there are others to relate to, to read this book! Thank you Hannah Brown! Your book has shown me more than you know.
