Life, not death, in the world of Alzheimer’s

Broken Beauty is a journey of the author’s mother, called Beauty, and her journey through the world of Alzheimer’s. But the book’s sole focus isn’t on death, loss, or devastation. While these components play a part, this is overall, the story of a family who has grasped on to life, not death, and who celebrates victory over tragedy. Sarah Smith tells a story about the caregivers, the facility, the friends, the family, the events, the struggles, the suffering, the pain, the hope–and more than anything else–the abundant love all around us. Smith makes us witnesses to a unique kind of love that cannot be proven by scientists. God’s love resides everywhere you look within these pages and within the walls where Beauty resides.
