Vaughn, MT, April 27, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Thomas Brooks, who grew up in Napa, California, has completed his new book, “Paid in Full—A Guide to Financial Freedom”: a helpful guide that shares the story of how they called on their faith in God, made life changes, and worked hard to pay off over $400,000 can help anyone struggling with debt.
Author Thomas Brooks served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Taiwan from 1973-1975 and earned a BS from Cal Poly in the field of animal science. He married his college sweetheart, Karen Kirchhof, and they have four children and fourteen grandchildren.
In 2008, a crushing financial setback to their Montana ranching operation created a debt load of over $400,000 for Tom and Karen. With work and determination, they paid it off completely in four and a half years.
A career based on animal health, nutrition, and management, along with an eight-year stint as a licensed financial advisor, gave Tom the knowledge and skill to face overwhelming challenges to faith, family, and finances created by the heavy load of indebtedness. With this book, he offers his hard-earned wisdom and counsel to others struggling with debt.
Tom writes, “My desire is that this writing will help someone who is in serious financial trouble find a way to get out of it and make the commitment to stay out of debt. Since our experience, I have had opportunities to share these ideas with others. All have benefited from taking a clear, hard look at their situations and developing plans to overcome the issues that caused them difficulty. Hopefully, this will be the case for you.”

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
