The Beauty in Breaking

Dr. Harper is a beautiful writer, and her stories really sucked me in. And I suppose I should be a little bit surprised I liked this so much, because I am a hypochondriac and I usually try to avoid medical stuff like it's the plague COVID?? Sometimes in her analyses after the fact, applying the things she learned from her patients to her own life, it came off a little self-righteous, but I still think she did a great job of weaving her own story of her own healing from an abusive childhood through her work in various emergency rooms. 3.5 stars.
