Autumn Brown

Autumn Brown, co-founder of the Southeast Texas Civilian Taskforce, has dedicated her life to serving others. Born and raised in Southeast Texas, she launched the Taskforce during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 with her late husband. It now serves six counties with volunteer disaster relief.

Autumn also partners with County Emergency Management, serves on multiple boards, and has led political campaigns. A mother of three, she’s earned numerous awards and believes kindness can spread just as powerfully as hate.

The Raw Truth: A Widow’s Journey is an unflinching memoir that explores love, loss, betrayal, and the raw aftermath of grief. After the sudden death of her husband, Autumn Brown discovered secrets that shattered her world even further. This book dives into the emotional chaos of widowhood—rage, isolation, and questioning faith—without sugarcoating a single page.

It’s a voice for those who feel alone in their sorrow and a hand to hold for anyone facing the unspoken truths of mourning. Honest, darkly hopeful, and deeply human, The Raw Truth is a companion for anyone surviving the unthinkable.
