"Broken Pieces by Rachel Thompson is truly a unique book...a powerful narration of her life. Each word, each line leads the reader through her experiences, the depth of her emotions, flowing seamlessly from past to present, depicting how her past marked her marriage and family and formed the remarkable person she is today." ~Lia Simitsiadou, Readers' Favorite

"This is a book about rising above; about becoming more than you can possibly believe you ever will be at those terribly low points of your life. It is about surviving, thriving and living and I recommend it more than any other book I have read."
~Tracy Riva, Midwest Book Review, Amazon Hall of Fame reviewer

"The book is written as a series of fragmentary essays. Thompson is a wonderful stylist, and the whole book is written in a very lyrical and poignant prose. This is not a book for leisure reading, but a powerful testament to the resilience and the indomitable nature of human spirit."
~Dr. Bojan Tunguz, Amazon Hall of Fame reviewer

"Such brave writing from Rachel. Her courage and light she sheds on the issue of abuse it brave beyond words. Painful to think of all she went through but inspiring to see how she handled it. A must read!​"- ​Purple Lotus

"Broken Pieces by Rachel Thompson is an evocative and poignant collection of essays and poetry that stays with you after you've shut the book and turned out the lights. What I love most is that she is so unflinchingly honest about her experiences--all of which put together make her a wonderfully whole person. Like all of us, we are the sum total of our parts, the good, the bad, and the freaking ugly. Thompson is resilient and that comes through in her reflections, which in turn says so much about her strength and courage. When life keeps knocking you down and you still get back up with the attitude of, "Is that all you got?" you know this is a special person sharing special stories with you, right from the heart. Well done." - Author Kimberly Jayne
