The Beauty In Breaking: A Memoir

I brought it about a year ago and finally got around to reading it… let me tell you IT WAS AMAZING. Easy to read, inspiring and loved how it had medical material included. This book is must! Especially if you are in the medical field.

A beautiful book worth every penny!

Describes the sides of Ameriof the American culture no one wants to see. Michele Harper's talking about her own healing process touched my heart, enspires, and encourages me. Thanks for this wonderful book!

While this book was well written, I was a bit disappointed. I had heard great things about this memoir but the story felt a bit disjointed to me. The author references the pain from her childhood and her divorce but it doesn’t fit seamlessly with the stories from her emergency department experiences. For example, the author references her abusive father, her journey in forgiving him, and the moment she reconnects with him on the phone after decades of no contact. However, she then shares nothing with the reader about their anticipated reunion. Her father was a thread throughout the entire book but then the thread suddenly stops. The same can be said for the author’s love life. We heard about her divorce and her spiritual connection with another man, but then read nothing more about her personal life.Despite the inconsistencies in the story, the book is very well written. There are several meaningful passages and quotes and it is clear that the author is a spiritual writer.

Dr. Michele Harper courageously lays her soul bare for all of us to see in this beautifully written account of her life journey. This book touched my heart and soul in a way that very few books have managed to achieve. Thank you.
