THE BOOK BY BLAIN BERTRAND
Transition to Adulthood
A Journey Through the Four Shields
A practical compass for the years between childhood and adult life—and for the choices that keep shaping us beyond them.
Across 34 chapters, Blain Bertrand connects the Four Shields with school, family, friendships, digital life, work, values, and independence. The goal is not a perfect young adult. It is a capable one.
