Why read it?

1 author picked Broken People as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Rachel’s writing speaks to my heart. Her lyrical style is gripping. She touches on the many aspects of trauma as she tells her own stories. Her writing is filled with beautiful imagery like, “The day is worried about me.”

This book is part of a series of three books. I have read and re-read them, finding much comfort in the words. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy healing through reading how others healed.

I also must give Rachel’s cover a nod. It’s unique, impactful and represents the depth of the book’s content.
