by Rachel Thompson
My Rating 5/5 Stars
This is one of the most intense and honest books I have ever read. I have trouble putting into words how much it means to me. I can open up Broken Pieces and feel someone has truly been through hell and it puts my problems into perspective. On another level, I can relate to the pain of partners being unfaithful and how much it eats away at you. Rachel Thompson strikes deep into the reader's heart as she opens up her own. Her journey is not humorous but it is real. You will admire her strength and you will not pity her. Pity is not he purpose of this book. Thompson shares her story because it is a story that needs told and will benefit those suffering from abuse, both sexual and not. Sexual harassment, molestation of children and rape are not a thing of the past; they continues and we must be aware. We must stop all of it with everything we have. Broken Pieces is a book everyone will be better for reading. I know I am.
A lovely review of a dark yet inspiring nonfiction book. I loved it too, Ben.
ReplyDeleteIt was inspiring. I'm glad she found the right person after so much pain.
DeleteSo many are broken...and the hard work of repair, though debilitating at times, must be done. And the protection piece you spoke of also. We need to protect the helpless more than we do.
ReplyDeleteYes, and we must not cast their suffering aside when we fail to protect them.
