BROKEN VESSELS-Tribute to a Family, is a very emotional and heart rendering story written by Author, Bernice Camp.
In this tribute to a Mother and five sisters by the heroine of the book, Megan, tells about their life as children and the horrors of living with an alcoholic and abusive father.
Their mother was without work or money. Where could she go? There was no one to help. She had to stay to keep the children together. No way, was she going to let her children be separated, put in foster homes, maybe never to see each other again. So, she stayed and took the abuse. As spunky Megan got a little older, she and her sisters found little ways to protect their mother from Jim's drunken abuse.
However, like most children reared in such an environment, Megan and her sisters carried emotional scars that negatively affected their life. They dropped out of school, married at very early ages, which resulted in multiple marriages.
Sadly, one of the sisters, Katie, followed her father's footsteps and like her father was unable to control the demon drink. All this hurt and turmoil brought tragic repercussions for Katie. Yet through it all was the need to be a family, to make it whole. How could this happen, after all they had been through? Was there a way to get past all the hurt, depression and inner anger?
How does Meagan come to terms with it all? Could it be that a little miracle, of spilled coffee and a Bible bring it all together for her? You will have to read this wonderful book to find out. I applaud Author Bernice Camp for a well-written and inspirational book. I give it 5 stars, my highest rating.
