Built Different is a short, powerful book about loss, resilience, and becoming who you’re meant to be after everything falls apart.
Written to be read in a few sittings—and felt long after—this book was intentionally created without filler. Every chapter exists for a reason.
⸻
This Book Was Written With Intention
This book is intentionally concise. I didn’t stretch the story. I respected it.
Grief doesn’t show up in long explanations—it shows up honest and direct. That’s how this book was written.
⸻
What This Book Is
• A deeply personal story of loss and rebuilding • Written for anyone learning how to live again after grief • Honest, reflective, and grounded in real experience • Rooted in the legacy of my mother, Brenda Marie Gigi
⸻
Who This Book Is For
This book is for you if you: • Have lost someone and feel changed by it • Feel stuck, behind, or unsure of who you’re becoming • Want something real—not surface-level motivation • Believe healing doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful
This book may not be for you if you’re looking for fluff or quick motivation.
⸻
Why I Wrote This Book
I wrote this book because I needed to. And because I know there are people quietly carrying pain, trying to rebuild themselves while the world keeps moving.
Built Different isn’t about being stronger than everyone else. It’s about surviving what should’ve broken you—and choosing to keep becoming.
⸻
What to Expect
• Approximately 80–90 pages • Short chapters meant to be read slowly or all at once • A story you may see yourself in
⸻
This isn’t a long book. It’s a deep one.

Amazing experience! Saw the Facebook ad had to immediately myself and My Wife the hoodies for this upcoming football season. Let’s go Buffalo! We would’ve shared pictures, but it’s 100+ degrees down in Texas!
