## Description

Broken Water: An Extraordinary True Story [Lane, Barbara] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Broken Water: An Extraordinary True Story

Review: A Symphony of Love, Loss, and Unyielding Bonds: The Masterpiece You Should Not Miss - Some books don’t just tell a story — they shake you awake. Broken Water by Barbara Lane is one of them. Lane writes with unflinching honesty about child abuse, neglect, and family separation, all through the lens of her own extraordinary life. As a young girl, she was adopted into the home of an abusive mobster and cut off from her eleven sisters — told they were no longer her “real family.” That loss reverberates through every page, but so does her courage. What makes this book remarkable isn’t just the pain Lane endured, but the way she transforms it into a call for change. Her storytelling lets readers look straight at the hardest truths without turning away, and instead of leaving us stuck in shock or pity, she stirs something deeper: a sense that action is both necessary and possible. Her decades-long search to find her sisters — chasing lead after lead, never letting hope die — is as gripping as any novel. Against all odds, the story comes full circle in a reunion that feels almost miraculous. It’s a reminder of what persistence can do, and how sacred family truly is. Lane’s voice is lyrical yet grounded, poetic but never distant. She has that rare gift of turning trauma into testimony, and testimony into inspiration. Broken Water is not just her autobiography; it’s a testament to resilience, a call to protect children, and a book that will linger with you long after the last page. This is literature with a purpose. And it deserves to be read, talked about, and remembered.
Review: A heartbreaking story beautifully written. - This book is both horrifying and spiritually moving. The resilience of these women and their unbreakable bond is one you won't soon forget. The author's Christian faith and the love for her sisters shines through a sordid story. The lives of these women and all they have overcome a testament of the indomitable human spirit. Barbara Lane's storytelling is interesting and her words lyrical. If I could, would give this book 20 stars.
