Jacquelyn Mitchard’s novel THE BREAKDOWN LANE is about one woman dealing with a life that is unravelling around her. Mitchard deeply explores the psyche of the emotionally wounded, but she writes about it with such honesty and beauty that you do not feel that you are being forced, heavy-handedly, towards the box of tissues. Instead you are willingly allowing your heart to be opened up and explored, ultimately offering hope and comfort. I think this is a fantastic book and the strength that lies within her main character, Julieanne, is inspiring. She has the grace of a dancer and the strength of a lion. She is the woman I want to be at this moment in my life and for all the difficult moments following.
