Walking on Broken Glass

De: Christa Allan

Narrado por: Sasha Dunbrooke

Leah Thornton’s life, like her Southern Living home, has great curb appeal. But a paralyzing encounter with a can of frozen apple juice in the supermarket shatters the façade, forcing her to admit that all is not as it appears. When her best friend gets in Leah’s face about her refusal to deal with her life and her drinking, Leah is forced to make a decision. Can this brand-conscious socialite walk away from the country club into 28 days of rehab? Can she leave what she has now to gain back what she needs? Joy, sadness, pain, and a new strength converge, testing her marriage, her friendships, and her faith.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

As a recovering alcoholic myself, I truly appreciated the realness of the AA perspective. So often it is misrepresented. Very moving story and full of hope, something AA gave me when I needed it most. Thank you!!!

Nicely done

A story about imperfection, understanding, recovery and forgiveness. I enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Great listen. Great truths

So much better then anticipated. Real, gritty with hilarious and sarcastic wit. The surprising and wonderful foundation of this often messy reality of broken people loving other broken people is the honest, not sugar-coated truth of God's amazing grace.
Will recommend and re-listen.

Inspirational…

When I started listening to this book, I had no idea how much I would have in common with the main character. This book has inspired me to make changes in my own life.

Great listen

I thought this was an interesting subject that you don’t often hear a lot about. It was neat to get the perspective of the main character. I think this book is good for everyone even if you aren’t the one struggling with addiction. It does a good job of showing how many of the things that happen in life can affect you.

Disappointingly shallow

The storyline seemed good, but the speaker was so slow, I had to quicken the speed in which I listened. Also, although the author tried to give change to the main character, she was extremely shallow. The reader did not get to really go through the changes with her for the extremes she went through, so it seemed unbelievable. And the fact that she stayed with her husband made me cringe each time she interacted with him.

good

I liked this book, kept me interesting. Yes her husband was overbearing and abusive and there were lots of issues to work theough

Great story

As a recovered addict, I could relate to the book on the transformative power of self reflection. Need a book that takes off from where it left off. Broken people and there journey to a renewed relationship is very powerful.

Abrupt ending

I feel like someone tore out the last two chapters of the book. Other than that I thought it was a great one!

Just ok

This book was hard to follow in some places when it jumped between past and present. Maybe it would be different when reading it ?
Also it just ended with no real resolution. Not sure it there is a sequel.
