Praise

“"Reading Bruised Not Broken was one of the most emotional reading experiences I've ever had. As one of Janice's closest friends, I knew she had experienced significant challenges, but I never truly comprehended the depth of her suffering, particularly her journey through menopause, despite hearing about it over the years. There were moments throughout the book that made me very emotional. As a man, I was surprised by how deeply I connected with her story. Not only did it give me a greater understanding of her pain, but it also forced me to confront some of my own unresolved trauma and recognize the importance of my own healing journey. I believe many men, as well as women, will find aspects of themselves within these pages. This book is powerful, courageous, and profoundly human." Dwayne Dookie”

Janice's storytelling is heartfelt, raw, and deeply authentic. Each chapter pulled me further into her journey, and I found myself emotionally connected to the trauma, heartbreak, resilience, and healing she so courageously shares. What impacted me most was her honest account of suffering through menopause. Her experience was portrayed with such vulnerability and truth that I felt every emotion alongside her. This book is more than a memoir—it is a testament to the strength of women and the power of hope. I believe countless readers will see pieces of themselves reflected in these pages."

“"Reading Bruised Not Broken was an emotional and deeply personal experience for me. As Janice's sister, I have witnessed parts of her journey, but reading her story in her own words gave me an even greater appreciation for her strength, resilience, and courage. I found myself relating to many of the painful experiences and emotional struggles she describes. Her story reflects the reality of what so many women silently endure every day, heartbreak, disappointment, loss, self-discovery, and ultimately healing. I am certain that countless women will recognize themselves in these pages and feel less alone because of Janice's willingness to share her truth. This is a story that deserves to be read, felt, and remembered." Johanne Daniel”
