You hear it all the time . . . "I'm fine!" "We're doing great!" Sometimes, it's true. A lot of times, it's BS. Because no one likes to admit their lives are a mess. Tales From a Broken Girl is me doing just that, admitting my life is one massive hot mess! But it's also my way of cleaning it up instead of just sweeping it all under the rug. These are the things that piss me off. These are the things that make me cry. But these are also the things that gave me hope and helped me move on from feeling "broken" to learning to live with the cracks. I hope you find something here that speaks to you. Also, I cuss a lot. "Tales From a Broken Girl is a book of pure beauty. Such an intimate and deeply personal read. It feels as if you're sitting across from the author, sipping a drink while listening to them drop brutal truth bombs. About love, the human soul, their life journey, and the ultimate destination of finding themself along the way. Chris Dean lays it all on the line in this collection. It draws you in and doesn't let go until the end. I read it all in one sitting, and the echoes definitely remain." - James D. Casey IV, author of Bad Weed Never Dies, Founder/EIC of Cajun Mutt Press
