About the Book



"Surviving a traumatic childhood in foster care was difficult enough for Barbara and her sister Kay, but the loss of her nine other sisters was a loss Barbara would not accept. Her quest to solve the mystery of what befell her family of origin and to locate her nine lost sisters took forty-three years. Once reunited, Barbara invested fifteen years to become the voice for all eleven abandoned and abused sisters by capturing each story. What she discovered about her family history and the plight of her siblings unsettled her soul, yet the unshakable resillience and faith that each sister demostrated in the face of adversity confirmed for Barbara that the wounds of suffering can open space for light to enter and that there is power found in believing in something greater than the self"--Back cover.



Book Synopsis



Eleven sisters, abandoned and abused, reunite after forty-three years and share their stories...


In this true story of resilience in the face of hardship, Barbara Lane and her sister Kay survive abandonment by their mother only to face severe abuse while living in foster care: the home of a Mafia grunt.


But for Barbara, missing her nine other sisters was more than she could bear. This well-written and powerful memoir reveals Barbara's hidden abuse and invites the reader to journey with her through the many years she spent trying to find her sisters and solve the intriguing mystery of her family of origin.


Broken Water is an honest and unforgettable tale of inspiration and transformation, a story of perseverance, tremendous faith and a belief that grief, loss and suffering can become the roots of wisdom, joy and a fulfilling life.


As an Ordained Ministerial Counselor, Barbara shares compelling stories of others she has helped to overcome their own haunting histories.
