Brokenness and Miracles is a candid memoir tracing Linda Sutherland's journey from childhood innocence into profound trauma and, ultimately, healing. Set in mid-twentieth-century America, the story begins with a loving early home that is shattered by her mother's death, followed by years of severe neglect, hunger, violence, and sexual abuse at the hands of her father. With unflinching honesty, the memoir reveals the hidden suffering that can exist behind outward respectability and captures a child's resilience amid fear, silence, and betrayal.

Linda's escape becomes the narrative's turning point. Taken in by a large, faith-centered extended family, she discovers safety, nourishment, and spiritual belonging for the first time. Through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, she experiences a deep transformation, reclaiming her identity and sense of purpose. Interwoven with later trials of grief and loss, Brokenness and Miracles stands as a testament to endurance, redemption, and the possibility of renewal after unimaginable hardship.
