Unbroken is a hope-filled story of a mother and a daughter, and their unwavering grip for life; reminding us that the human spirit is unbreakable. Grounded in their faith, together they battle a life-threatening disease that would forever change the course of their lives.

Moving and life-giving!
I was transported as I read this book. I was there with them as they hailed cabs in NYC on their way to the hospital. I felt the fear and pain of a mother handling the fragility of life of her only child. I was in awe many times wondering "how did she handle all this?" Of course the answer is made clear continually. Every page is a glory to God as she tells the story of holding on, praying, believing, and seeing the best of out every situation, setback or surprise. The story, though agonizing at times, was so filled with life. I always felt better after reading a few pages. I think it's the feeling of renewed hope. That's the central theme for me. Egli teaches you ways to renew your hope in the midst of crisis, fear, confusion. Bonus: you get a glimpse at the Dominican culture in NYC :)

At the end you will feel a rush of gratitude, inspiration and more importantly a new perspective about your life.
Thank you Egli and Natalia for being such an amazing warriors.

A great read!
I could not wait to start reading it. Several chapters in and my immediate reaction was “People need to read this book!” It’s full of culture and savory moments. Reading it made me feel at home! Dr. Egli Stephen’s detailed descriptions of her upbringing reminded me of my own and suddenly, I felt homesick. Her use of Hispanic words here and there, her love for literature, reading, and her interests in learning about Hispanic writers, gave me a sense of belonging. I could relate. She was born for this journey. I am happy with my purchase. If you want to experience family love, absolute faith, and learn about your own strength through someone else’s eye, get this book! You will not regret it and who knows... you might get inspired. It is worthy!
