Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Endorsed by Detroit's Auxiliary Bishop Earl Boyea, authors Kimberly Hahn and Patti Armstrong, "Broken and Blessed" is the inspirational story of Celeste, a baby whose short life impacted hundreds of people and prompted Dr. Mark Latkovic, Professor of Moral Theology at Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit to say, "Because your story [Catherine Adamkiewicz's; Celeste's mother] is at once personal, yet universal, I believe that your audience is a broad one - Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Muslim, even non-religious. It has much to teach about not just suffering and death, but the meaning of life."

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone who has lost a loved one - no matter the age!, October 5, 2007
By Sharon D. Shirley (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Catherine Adamkiewicz is a mother who has crafted a beautiful story about the journey she took in the loss of her precious baby. It is an honest and heartfelt account that leaves nothing to the imagination. She bares her very soul in an attempt to help others who have lost a loved one try to learn how to cope. It is both heartbreaking and inspirational, to learn how one woman could triumph over an unimaginable loss, and turn it into an act of the purest love of all. How to let your loved one go with dignity and grace. No matter what your religious beliefs, this book contains a universal message. This book is a gift of love named Celeste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joy and Beauty Among Suffering, January 23, 2008
This is a beautiful story about a mother, her family and her precious baby Celeste, who all were part of God's special plan. It's heart wrenching, yet gives so much hope. A story about the joy of suffering that needs to be told in today's society. I felt like Catherine Adamkiewicz was my best friend bearing her soul to me. This story will stay with me a long while!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart felt and moving, October 5, 2007
One of the best books I have ever read. Catherine Adamkiewicz is a great writer and makes you feel like part of the family. It is a fast read. Pulls you in and keeps you asking for more. It will make you laugh and cry and maybe even let out "Wow!". This book is a must have and would make a great gift.
