WHEN SHE BREAKS


Just when Soshana thinks she’s done healing, gone through years of therapy, read enough self-help books... debilitating, out-of-body experiences set in after she moves back home to Grand Rapids, Michigan to take care of her ailing mother. An injury from these disturbances causes Soshana to end up in a hospital, sharing a room with a warm-hearted and sympathetic patient. As their fast friendship develops, she discovers the deep wounds from past relationships can bleed into new ones.

While navigating through intense feelings, terrifying episodes of childhood trauma flashbacks, panic attacks and illnesses, she is also trying to rekindle old friendships, maintain new ones and figure out her place in the world. Soshana struggles to find the strength to balance joy amongst the heartache of healing. If she doesn’t find a way, it might end up costing her life.

Quotes
“When She Breaks is a stunning exploration of our basic human need to love and be loved. Maggie Yore takes you on a beautiful journey through Soshana's life, artfully weaving in startling glimpses of her past and leading to Soshana's gradual realization that we accept the love we think we are worthy of...and our self-worth is not decided by anyone else. Soshana and Kieran are so relatable and compelling - I found myself rooting for them to find their happiness and learn how to love themselves, and each other.”
