Kimberly Kearns

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

@iReadBookTours

On the Edge of Shattered is Kimberly Kearns' story of her own alcohol addiction. Kearns doesn't sugarcoat anything, you will get the raw truth of what her life was like as an alcoholic. And it sure wasn't the pretty picture Hollywood gives us. They make it look as though everyone is doing it, why not me. I'm thankful that Kearns was willing to put her story out there for all to see, not for people to bash her about it, but for those in the same place she was to be able to find help as well. It's not easy to read parts of the book, but they are important so readers can see the whole picture.

Thank you goes to this author. I pray that everyone seeing or reading her story will find the hope Kearns found. If this is something you need help with, please follow her advice.

I don’t read many memoirs, but every now and then I come across one that seizes my attention like Kimberly Kearns’ vulnerable journaling of her freedom from addiction. In On the Edge of Shattered she offers a candid, heartbreaking, and inspiring trek through her personal childhood, teen, and adult years.

I like the alternating timelines (then and now) because the light of present-day Kimberly is needed to soften and ease the shadowy past. I admire the strength it took for her to not only discover sobriety, but to be vulnerable about her struggles. She allows readers to better understand how past traumas, suppressions, fears, etc. can shape us and lead us down unhealthy and disastrous paths.

This is an emotional read that not only reveals how someone can become submerged in alcohol addiction, but also an emergence to self-discovery and freedom is possible.

Kimberly Kearns does not hold back in her On The Edge of Shattered: A Mother’s Experience of Discovering Freedom Through Sobriety. I admired her courage in telling her story and determination to help those who are affected by alcohol and addictions. She tells how she took back her power and how she faced her demons and trauma by getting sober and learning how to heal. She was able to come to realize how she needed to do so for herself and able to break the chains to become free from it. I know so many readers would be able to connect with the words within the pages and understand the struggles the author endured to find her freedom. Other readers would get a better understanding how many become so dependent on alcohol and other substances. I know I have learned to be less judgmental and more compassionate by reading the author’s story.
I am giving On The Edge of Shattered: A Mother’s Experience of Discovering Freedom Through Sobriety a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading memoirs and how people are able to overcome turmoil, trauma and addictions in their lives. Kimberly Kearns has a special ability to speak to her readers and would love for her to continue to write books to inspire her readers.
