I Surrender: A Journey of Faith, Love & Self-Discovery

By Somone Young

In I Surrender, retired U.S. Navy veteran and emotional wellness advocate Somone Young invites readers into an unfiltered, deeply personal journey through heartbreak, healing, and hope.

What began as a story of love turned into a painful unraveling—a failed marriage, years of carrying emotional baggage, and the quiet war of pretending everything was okay. But through it all, Somone discovered something far greater than she ever imagined: herself.

This book isn’t just about surviving hardship. It’s about what happens when we finally stop fighting life alone and choose to surrender. Somone’s faith became her lifeline, her turning point, and her freedom. In these pages, you’ll witness the beauty of vulnerability, the power of self-reflection, and the courage it takes to start over—this time, in alignment with God’s purpose.

Whether you’ve battled silently, lost yourself in someone else’s story, or feel the weight of your own emotional baggage, I Surrender offers a powerful reminder: healing begins the moment we let go.

This is more than a book. It’s an invitation—to believe again, to love again, and to rediscover who you were always meant to be.

Hiding Behind a Uniform

By Somone Young

Behind the crisp uniform, polished boots, and commanding presence was a woman silently struggling to be seen—not as a sailor, not as a leader, but as a person.

In Hiding Behind a Uniform, Somone Young pulls back the curtain on military life to reveal the personal battles that don’t make it into the service record. With raw honesty and emotional depth, she shares the complexities of balancing duty and identity, strength and vulnerability, appearance and reality.

This memoir captures the unspoken weight of expectations that come with wearing a uniform—especially for a woman determined to prove herself in a male-dominated world. But beneath the discipline and drive was a heart aching for healing, authenticity, and peace.

More than a story of service, Hiding Behind a Uniform is a story of reclaiming voice, value, and identity—far beyond the rank or the role.

It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we fight within.
