Shepherd-Hunt Rising A Journey of Strength, Love, and Finding Home

From a past full of pain to a future built with purpose, Betty Shepherd-Hunt is rising. With her new family-Owen and Amelia-by her side, she's found stability, safety, and love. But healing isn't a straight path. Between therapy, school, JROTC leadership, and her growing role with Seattle's Station 19, Betty is learning how to face every challenge with courage.

As she trains for the junior fire program and finds a tender, evolving connection with Pin, her world begins to expand. Along the way, she earns not just awards and ranks, but also her own voice-and the right to claim her place as a daughter, a cadet, and a future firefighter.

But when old wounds resurface and new truths come to light, Betty must choose how to carry her story forward. Can she trust herself to keep rising?
