To her family, Brenna’s daily life is full of the same joys as any other child’s. She laughs, plays, listens to bedtime stories, and dreams about the future. Her parents never limit her potential. They see in her a bright future filled with possibilities.
Courtney began sharing their story through her writing, hoping to bring awareness and compassion to families navigating similar paths. In 2016, she published A Different Beautiful, a book that tells their story with honesty and warmth. Through it, the family hopes to encourage greater understanding of physical differences—not through pity, but through empathy.
To them, Brenna is more than a diagnosis. She is a reminder that beauty comes in many forms—and that love, when rooted in acceptance, can inspire others to look beyond appearances and see the person within.
