You can look like you have it all together in your career, home, and family, and still be quietly breaking inside. This is the book that meets you where you are and shows you how to find healing and wholeness.

After surviving a life-threatening bout of septic shock in the ICU, Carrie Ann Moore tried to return to the familiar routine but soon found herself fighting to keep her mother alive, too. With their lives complicated by shared grief and trauma, she realized that solving the challenges of today meant listening to the echoes of the past. She came face to face with a hard truth: the lives she and her mother had built on avoidance, achievement, and self-sacrifice had been slowly costing them everything.

STRONGER THAN is the roadmap she built to find her way back. Part memoir, part practical guide, it draws on the Japanese art of Kintsugi—mending broken pottery with gold—to reveal a liberating idea: the places where you’ve been broken can become the most beautiful and strongest parts of who you are.
