Notes From Your Bookseller
A Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2020, The Beauty in Breaking is a riveting and heartbreaking memoir from a Black emergency room physician in an overwhelmingly male and white profession who examines how healing others teaches her how to heal herself. In its captivating narrative, intimate tone, and transformative message, The Beauty in Breaking is a book that cries out to be shared. As Elisabeth Egan said in The New York Times, “The reader should not open this book without a pen in hand. There are so many powerful beats you’ll want to underline.”
