I have to admit, prior to being selected to attend the Women of Faith Conference in November, I had never heard of Patsy Clairmont. I was thrilled to see her book as one of those offered by BookSneeze for review. I had no expectations, so I began this book with a completely open mind. This is a book filled with stories from Patsy's life that somehow all seem familiar in my own life. The premise is that we are all broken, but in that brokenness we can become beautiful. One particular element of this book that I absolutely loved was the suggested art, music, scripture, poetry, etc. that was included at the end of every chapter. In the course of reading this book, I was in tears more than once, but only because I identified with her emotions so completely. The chapter that I enjoyed the most was about poetry, in which I am not typically interested. She included a vast array of quotes from poets as well as poems that touched my heart. This is a nonfiction book that I would definitely recommend to many, if not all, of the women I know.
