In The Demons In My Lunchbox, Brooklyn Gilmore tells a story of triumph when slammed into a wall of adversity. Teachers, administrators, professors, and her mother label Brooklyn as an underdog or someone who has little chance at winning in life. Contrary the adage, sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me, Brooklyn tells otherwise. She shares her struggles, insecurities, and fights to proclaim forgiveness against those who hurt her by telling her that she is not good enough.

While finding comfort in self-loathing, Brooklyn builds walls of protection to cope with addiction. After two decades of carrying around guilt, shame, and condemnation, Brooklyn is brought to a place of surrender that allows her to find forgiveness and to give herself a second chance at life by conquering the demons in her lunchbox.
