The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir

In this beautiful and moving memoir, author Michele Harper details her experience working as an ER physician in central Philadelphia and her journey from childhood to this pivotal role in helping heal people. Harper provides the crucial insight that each of us is broken in one way or another, and that the task of healing can take many different forms. Sharing lessons gleaned from the patients she has worked with, Harper helps the reader recognize the ways in which they might be broken, and directs them towards possible forms of recovery. A moving book, ostensibly about medicine and the author's life, but with many other lessons and crucial insights besides.
