Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Twelve people. Twelve kinds of breaking. One thing in common.A boy who swore he would never become his father. A pageant winner whose crowns were hiding an illness nobody had a name for yet. A sister who shut her bedroom door on the last conversation she would ever have.These are not polished lessons about overcoming adversity. They are twelve true stories, told by the people who lived them, in their own words.A physician who spent four years and everything she had getting her daughter to safety. A man who prayed for different parents and got silence, and found his answer decades later in a room full of strangers. A woman who ended a twenty-year addiction without a patch, a pill, or a single day of willpower. A daughter who lost her career doing exactly what her mother had taught her to do.They come from different countries, different faiths, and different walks of life. A doctor. An engineer. A dancer. A manager. A mother. What they share is the willingness to tell the truth about what happened to them, and to trust that somewhere, someone needed to hear exactly that.There is no advice in this book. Nobody here will tell you what to do with what has happened to you. They will only tell you what happened to them, as honestly as they were able, and leave you to hold it however you need to.The Japanese have an art called kintsugi. When a bowl breaks, they do not throw it away and they do not hide the damage. They fill every crack with gold, and the repair becomes the most valuable thing about the object.The crack is not the flaw. The crack is where the gold lives.This is not a book about being fixed. It is a book about what comes through the cracks.
