The Beauty in Breaking particularly resonated for me because the difficult moment of history we are living through is reflected in so many of the challenging situations that Harper navigates throughout the book. Her stories encourage readers “to learn to distinguish enabling from helping, codependence from love” and “to pay careful and thoughtful attention to the roots of what makes us healthy.” She takes readers through seemingly impossible and inspirational moments, often overlapping, reminding us that all of our lives impact each other and that that can be a cause for hope. In this time that can be so painful, it’s good to be reminded that the challenges we are facing can lead to new beginnings. In the book, Harper, an emergency room doctor, reflects on brokenness as a catalyst for healing through stories about her experiences as a doctor and hospital administrator. The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir by Michele Harper is exactly the balm I needed at the end of 2020. $27/hardcover $16/paperback (available in July) $13.99/eBook.
