Book Overview

What if everything you believed about family, safety, and love was shattered before you turned six, and the journey back took a lifetime?

Broken but Healing is a raw and unflinching memoir of survival, resilience, and spiritual redemption. Bella St. Patrick arrives in the world in the summer of 1973, held once by her grandfather before his sudden death. From that moment forward, her Granny becomes the steady force in her life, teaching her values, dignity, and self-worth. But life quickly spirals. At five, Bella discovers her mother after a suicide attempt. At six, she endures childhood sexual abuse that will haunt her for decades.

What follows is a tumultuous path through betrayal, addiction, and the search for home. She falls in love with a boy who becomes a drug dealer. She builds her dream house in her twenties, only to face homelessness by the age of fifty. Yet through it all, Bella refuses to give up. Fueled by the spirit of her matriarch, she confronts trauma, heals deep wounds, and reclaims her voice.

This powerful memoir of childhood trauma, generational pain, and forgiveness offers more than survival. It offers the truth of becoming whole. For readers seeking inspiration, healing, or simply the strength to rise, Broken but Healing is a guiding light.

If you have ever questioned your worth or longed to feel seen, this book is for you. Step into Bella's world and find your way home.
