On Saturday, November 15 at 2PM, Barnes & Noble at Avenue East Cobb (4475 Roswell Rd; Marietta, GA) will host the public launch of Grieve Like a Mother, Survive Like a Warrior, a new book written by fourteen Georgia-based mothers who’ve endured unimaginable loss—and found strength in each other.
These “Warrior Moms” have lived through tragedies that mirror today’s headlines:
- Fentanyl poisoning
- Hazing and preventable campus deaths
- Gun violence
- Car accidents and house fires, etc.
Three of the co-authors are from the Cobb area, and eight additional Warrior Moms will be on hand to sign books and speak with attendees. Their stories are raw, real, and deeply relevant—offering both practical guidance and a collective call to reshape how America talks about grief.
You may also recall Slater Nalley, a recent Top 5 American Idol finalist, who performed an original song inspired by Carter Davis. Carter was gunned down behind the Publix in Roswell in 2016. What many don’t know is that Slater was deeply moved by a poem written by his teacher, Michele Davis—Carter’s mother and one of the co-authors of ‘Grieve Like a Mother, Survive Like a Warrior.’ Her words helped shape the emotional core of Slater’s tribute, and she’ll be available for interviews at the event.
This artistic connection between teacher and student—between grief and music—adds a powerful layer to the story. It’s a testament to how personal loss can inspire public healing, and how Georgia voices are shaping national conversations through art, advocacy, and community.
Wanted to share an interesting twist of this story to you.
This is more than a book launch—it’s a moment of solidarity and storytelling from Georgia families who are turning pain into purpose.
