Brother Broken by Cecile Beaulieu (Book Review #1510)

‘Brother Broken’ is an emotional memoir written by Cecile about her life, mental illness, suicide, relationships, life, and how it all ends up becoming a self-discovery journey for her.

Family is key in this memoir and you get to meet Cecile’s six siblings growing up. I enjoyed reading about Saskatchewan and how mental illness ran through the family. Each sibling grows with different personalities and encounters their own struggle and experiences. This enabled the reader to feel more involved and part of the story.

‘Loss fuels hope’, and that is what we take home after reading this book. The author writes with care and detail. Her honest revelation of what transpires in her life is a testimony to her strength.

I enjoyed reading this memoir very much because I found it inspirational. I recommend this book to those who enjoy honest memoirs.
