The Broken Image

By Tera  Young

"Continuing from chapter one, About Myself, something was missing. What was missing was my innocence. It was already taken away. I had a lack of identity due to past experiences and so instead of going off to college to fulfill purpose, I was going off to college to try and seek out an identity."

In my most humble opinion, the story began or I thought it began for me after reading the quote above.  Then really shortly after, Ms. Young dropped me off right there and  then shut the door ... tightly shut.  I'm like what happened? 

I want more!!!!!  Ms. Young, you can't just leave me here wondering what happened to you as a child or young adult that makes you a person of integrity on the subject of, "brokenness".  What was your struggle?  What did it look or feel like?  You told me what it should look like to be healed but somewhere along the way I missed YOUR story before the healing. 

I think many readers will feel the same as I do.  They'll want to know so much more about what happened to Tera  that really led to her passion to write this story.  What I think is happening here, after much contemplation, is a compare/contrast sort of tale. 

Overall Ms. Young gives great biblical perspectives and then she gives the readers flashes of her personal encounters or accounts of her life. I think once the above questions are addressed, "The Broken Image" will be on it's way to SUCCESS.
