Tawni Waters has created a place that's not a where in a time that's not a when right here in New Mexico, right now today. Her characters are people, they come to life as you read, and encourage you to turn the page "Oh man, you gotta see what s/he does next! Keep reading!!" Sure, "Beauty of the Broken" is a coming-of-age story. Truth, but it is so much more than that. A snapshot of a time and place and way of living/thinking that I can only hope won't be with us in America for much longer. An incredibly moving story about an American sister and her big brother. A beautifully written story about two young American girls in love. A painful and raw retelling of the story of an American family who takes the 'fun' right out of dysfunctional. and, of course, about the American ideals of God.

Get it. Read it. You'll be a better person after those few short hours you will so willingly give up. I suggest reading it in bright sunlight.
