10% of Profits Donated to Child Abuse Prevention

You can heal your sorrows. You can share your joys.

I have lived long enough to believe that things happen for a purpose. If you believe that is true, read on dear friend. You are here for a reason.

I am committed to sharing the healing, hope and inspiration that has been showered down upon me during my life thus far--miracles, I guess you could say. To that end, I have written a memoir that is full of opposites: hope and despair, sadness and joy, tears and laughter; a tale of being lost and then found, broken and then mended. I offer my writing to the world with the sincere desire that those who come across "Broken Water" will find within the pages the words for feelings they have yet to express, space to feel them and the inspiration and motivation required to walk their unique path toward healing.

But this book is not about me alone. It is about 11 sisters who journeyed similar paths, though separated from each other. It is about the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood, healing from childhood abuse, and reclaiming a life to be lived to its fullest. 

If this sounds like your type of book, please know that 10% of all profits is given to organizations that prevent child abuse. If not, I hope you find the other offerings on these pages to be of benefit to you or someone you love. I speak to you from my open heart. I hope you read and listen from yours.

It is astonishing that all 11 of the sisters survived their childhood abuse and abandonment to overcome their trauma and became competent, successful parents themselves. The chapter quotes perfectly introduce the reader to the oncoming information and stories of each sister. Lane is to be highly commended for her perseverance in pursuing each sister’s individual story. Her writing pulls the reader into the emotions and depth of the trauma each sister experienced at such young ages from their parent's behavior and their foster care. Her sharing of the “knowingness” and the psychic tendencies that ran through the family including her father, is also important to their connection to each other and to the story. The research, travel involved, recording of each sister’s words, including the author’s personal story are riveting. Details and descriptions create excellent images for the reader. Photos of the sisters express a joy finally achieved. Broken Water is a powerful, compelling story that reveals the failure of orphanages and foster care of years past. It reinforces the need for close inspections of children who live in foster care or boarding schools today. This book was impossible to put down until I finished reading every word.

My heart is dedicated to protecting and supporting children who have suffered from abuse and neglect. I also have a strong passion for helping individuals recover from traumatic childhoods. Ever since my book "Broken Water" was published, I have been overwhelmed with messages from readers who have found healing through its words. It's incredible how much power can be found in sharing our stories.
