I’m Dee — a reader, published author, veteran, and nonprofit founder. And I’ve sat through too many book discussions where the questions felt like they could apply to literally any book. I built Grounded Visionary because those conversations deserved better.

Every guide here starts with a book I actually finished—and couldn’t stop thinking about.

Not skimmed.
Not assigned.
Not “important because someone said so.”

Books I sat with.
Turned over in my mind.
Argued with.

If a book didn’t do that?
There’s no guide for it here.

These guides aren’t for readers who want easy questions and comfortable answers. If you’ve ever finished a book and felt like there was more beneath the surface…you’re exactly who these guides were made for.
