The Hurricane Within, Volume 2: Beyond the Storm is an inspiring memoir and true story of courage, resilience, and unwavering faith. In this powerful continuation of Ashlee Leppert’s journey, the decorated U.S. Coast Guard aviator shares her deeply personal story of overcoming trauma, navigating profound loss, and finding peace and purpose beyond life’s fiercest storms.

From heroic missions during Hurricane Harvey to the quiet heartbreak of losing loved ones, Ashlee invites listeners into an authentic account of life after service, one marked by sacrifice, resilience, and ultimately surrender. As she transitions from military life, she faces not only emotional wounds but also the daily challenges of living with an autoimmune condition, the lingering pain of assault, and the weight of post-traumatic stress. Together, these trials test her strength but also deepen her faith, compassion, and unwavering determination to heal and grow.

Determined to rediscover hope, Ashlee embarks on a solo cross-country road trip in her fifth wheel—a transformative journey of healing, reflection, and divine encounter. Along the way, she learns the power of community among veterans, the beauty of chosen family, and the miracle of God’s grace that meets her even in the darkest valleys.

Raw, reflective, and deeply motivational, Beyond the Storm reminds us that even after unimaginable loss and ongoing struggle, there is still life, love, and light to be found. This female veteran’s inspirational memoir is a testament to God’s healing power and the strength that comes through faith, courage, and perseverance, showing that peace truly can be found on the other side of the storm.
