There are singular moments in a woman's life when something happens, either by choice or circumstance, that changes everything. Kintsukuroi Heart is a memoir illuminating these defining moments through a collection of stand-alone stories, then reveals how each event reshaped the woman's life.

Although the circumstances are unique and deeply personal, you will find the events are strongly identifiable - to yourself or someone you love. Some are heartbreaking, others triumphant, and they are the threads that connect us all, making us each more beautiful for having been broken.
