The Believer within You

Tyrone Burnett

Acclaimed Debut Book Earns Top Honors from the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2024 Next Generation Short Story Awards, and Prestigious Mom’s Choice Award 
Inspired by personal experiences with identity theft and wrongful eviction, the author of The Believer within You draws from 29 and a half years in the US Navy to expose hidden corruption within local governments. This award-winning debut novel follows 12-year-old Brenda Sue Bellamy, whose trusty notebook helps her uncover fraudulent real estate practices that threaten her family. 
Brenda Sue’s investigation reveals how systemic failures in the home-buying process destabilize families—mirroring the author’s own experiences. Her journey offers financial and educational insights for both young readers and adults. Faced with the choice to stay silent or speak out, Brenda Sue’s courage and commitment to justice become central to her story. 
Recent events, such as the halted illegal foreclosure on Graceland, echo the themes of The Believer within You. These real-world incidents show how real estate fraud endangers families, but with vigilance, much of it can be prevented. 
Just as Elvis Presley’s granddaughter defended his property rights, Brenda Sue—armed with her notebook—champions the need for vigilance, courage, and self-belief. Based on true stories, The Believer within You highlights the importance of protecting property rights while offering a message of hope and resilience.
