Since 2005, the goal of Walk Free Press has been to help people walk the Beauty Path by walking free from fear, anger, unforgiveness, and all other negative emotions that block us from becoming whole individuals of light. Walking the Beauty Path means walking, not only in full survivorship, but also in knowledge, patience, kindness, love, and power--with ourselves, others, and the environment. To that end, Walk Free Press often gives books to cancer patients, victims of abuse and sexual assault, and others who need a helping hand along the Beauty Path. Read others' stories on the Triumphs page.

Titles released by Walk Free Press include:

           The Character of Mountains
           Walk Free From Fear of Cancer
           Rise, Woman. Rise.

Future titles include:

           Messiah Manifest: Light the Path with Beauty
           Fearless Woman
