This is My New Foundation

This Is My New Foundation: A Memoir of Loss, Faith, and Redemption — Based on a True Story When life collapses without warning, what do you build from the rubble? This Is My New Foundation is the powerful true story of Bill Bailey, a man shattered by crisis, grief, and the quiet devastations no one sees coming, and the extraordinary journey that led him from breaking point to breakthrough. From the hard-edged streets of Detroit to the disciplined halls of West Point, from the chaos of military service to the loneliness of personal loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bailey’s path is marked by struggle, resilience, and the fierce will to keep going. What looked like the end became the beginning of something transformative: a testament to survival, faith, and the unshakeable strength found only when everything else falls away. Told with honesty, humility, and a steady undercurrent of hope, this memoir resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by circumstance or overlooked in their own story. Bailey shows us that pain can be a teacher, faith can be a blueprint, and healing can begin, even in silence. This book is a reminder for all who are searching, rebuilding, or trying to rise again: You don’t rebuild with bricks. You rebuild with truth, faith, and a new foundation.
