Reviewed by Maryann Namayi for Readers' Favorite

In Broken Pieces: Healing the Girl That Remains Trapped Inside, author Qiana Riley-Jones presents a collection of short stories that explore traumatic experiences and offer insights into navigating life’s challenges. Through the narratives of seven intentionally nameless and ageless females, Riley-Jones guides young girls and women seeking to overcome obstacles and find fulfillment. This book explores the concepts of acceptance and fulfillment and emphasizes the importance of personal growth. While growth can be a process, it can also lead to significant accomplishments. Riley-Jones motivates us to establish objectives and cultivate a positive mindset to surmount challenges we may encounter. By sharing her experiences and those of others, she offers hope and inspiration to those facing similar struggles.

Qiana Riley-Jones’ writing is unique and resonant, addressing themes such as insecurity and acceptance. Each chapter offers hope and inspiration drawn from personal experiences. The sense of accomplishment in overcoming a difficult situation is genuinely profound. As demonstrated throughout the stories in this book, our actions can shape the outcomes we desire in life. The fact that it draws upon real-life experiences is valuable, as it provides essential lessons for life. We are encouraged to develop a winning attitude and set goals to overcome obstacles. Overall, I highly recommend Broken Pieces as a powerful and thought-provoking work. Its exploration of real-life issues and emphasis on personal growth and accomplishment provides valuable lessons and inspiration for anyone seeking to move beyond past experiences and become a better person.
