Michele Harper is a female, African American emergency room physician in a profession that is overwhelmingly male and white. As an effective ER physician, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter, she came to understand that each of us is broken, physically, emotionally, psychically. How we recognize those breaks, how we try to mend them, and where we go from there are all crucial parts of the healing process. The Beauty in Breaking is the poignant true story of Harper’s journey toward self-healing.
