The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir
by Michele Harper
This book was a chanced encounter, I don’t even remember how I came across this title. I started it and then took a very long hiatus (I stopped reading almost entirely whilst I was moving across the world and setting up my life in another continent), and finally restarted this book to finish it.
Mostly a recount of personal childhood trauma, “emotional growing pains”, combined with the socio-political struggle of being a black female person in today’s America via ER cases encountered in various hospitals that Dr. Michele Harper worked in. Some parts were encouraging, mostly it urges readers to not be afraid of change, especially heartbreaks as a result of family and/or relationships falling apart, and to face them truthfully and courageously.
