"Broken Open holds the keys for you to find what you're looking for, which is so much more than freedom from pain. Mal Duane shows us that the journey home is about learning to love yourself fully and completely, despite the agonizing way you were forced to get there." FOREWORD by KRISTINE CARLSON New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned speaker

The wounds we take in the battles of love are the most profound tools for healing we will ever receive.

This transformational book is about being broken open―about having your heart shattered, cracked open to its core. But although betrayal may have caused your wound, this book isn't about learning to live with those old stories. It's about letting the light stream in through the cracks in your heart, rewriting your personal love story, and looking within for the love you crave.

Your heart may be shattered, but it's still beating. You can let your pain drown you, or you can choose to awaken to the life ahead of you―a life full of purpose, happiness, freedom, and endless love.

On these pages, you will find the keys to the healing you desire, so you can wear your broken heart as a badge of courage, and finally live, and love, as a whole woman.

Now is the time to claim the power in your pain and the wisdom in your wounds.

So, sister ... are you broken, or are you broken open?
