What Readers Are Saying
A MUST READ …
“When I started reading Broken to Beautifully Whole, I expected it to share Cathy Studer’s personal story of abuse and healing. Instead, the author offered something far more profound. There is more than wisdom in these pages. There is a call to action to change the things we cannot ignore. It is the right tool to make the world safer for our children.”

“Cathy’s book is such a beautiful testimony of the transformation from broken to beautiful! I was not a victim of sexual abuse, but I went through an abusive marriage and divorce, which left me very broken. Reading this book has helped me SO much and has encouraged me in my healing journey. Anyone who has suffered from any kind of abuse or trauma will find much help and encouragement through this book! A MUST READ!”

“I read this entire book in one morning. I literally couldn’t put it down. Cathy’s personal tale of heart-breaking abuse that no innocent child should ever have to encounter followed by an inspiring, miraculous testimonial of how healing, love, and forgiveness are possible. Her six “Attributes That Heal” provide a roadmap for all of us and can be applied in so many different circumstances. I am inspired by Cathy’s drive to bring greater transparency to an issue that is uncomfortable to acknowledge yet happens with unforgivable frequency. Everyone needs to read this book!!!!!”

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquered precious metals, platinum, silver, or gold.
It comes with the philosophy that once something is cracked or broken, it can be repaired to become stronger and more beautifully whole. The cracks are meant to be highlighted, not hidden.
A means of becoming whole again and embracing our imperfections and our story.
Cathy was inspired by this art philosophy as she wrote her book. It reminded her that she too could fully embrace her past trauma’s and shine a light on her scars instead of hiding and disguising them. She hid her story and her scars for too long.
