This is what survival looks like. Broken Water: An Extraordinary True Story is a powerful memoir for readers who lived through childhood trauma—and are ready to understand how it shaped them without letting it define them. Barbara Lane writes with honesty and restraint about abuse, silence, and the long road toward clarity. This is not a book that sensationalizes pain. It names it—and then shows what resilience actually means. Readers often say this story gave them language for experiences they never spoke aloud, and relief they didn’t know they were allowed to feel. If you’re ready for a true story that’s difficult because it’s real, and healing because it’s human—this one stays with you. Her miraculous reunion with her long-lost sisters decades later is nothing short of sacred. Woven through it all is Barbara’s unshakable faith in God—a faith that sustained her through the darkest valleys and ultimately led her into the light. Told with poetic honesty and spiritual depth, Broken Water is more than a memoir—it is a testament to resilience, redemption, and the healing power of divine love. It speaks to anyone who has ever been wounded by the past, searched for their place in the world, or dared to hope for a miracle. Winner - Next Generation Indie Award Book Life Review - Editor's Pick - This is a story for the broken-hearted, the searching, and the faithful—for those who know that even the most shattered lives can be made whole again. This is more than a memoir. It is a revelation. A journey from trauma to triumph. A testament that even in the most broken waters, God is still present. If you have ever felt lost, abandoned, or unseen—Barbara’s story will remind you that faith can carry you where fear cannot. A distinctive, haunting tale of family, loss, and hope.- Kirkus Review This book was impossible to put down until I finished reading every word.-Judge, 31st Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards.” **This book contains content that might be troubling to some readers including, but not limited to, depictions of and references to child abuse, childhood trauma, neglect, and death.
