From the fragments of heartbreak, Melissa Sharman built something extraordinary.
At first glance, Melissa had it all - a husband, children, a suburban life. But behind closed doors were years of violence.
When she escaped, Melissa did more than survive: she helped change laws, founded a support organisation, and helped bring 22 babies into the world through egg donation and surrogacy.
Told with grace, honesty, and unexpected humour, The Beauty of Broken Things is a luminous story about how what breaks us can become our greatest offering.
