Broken But Still A Masterpiece: Surviving Multiple Unknown Illnesses Paperback – November 14, 2020

I chose this rating because it was beyond heart felt. Your compassion is very student in your writing. Theres a quote "this one is for the books". This is a great read that is apart of history, romance, educational, self help, spiritual. Its been a while since I felt a true story come alive, as if I was in the room. I definitely recommend this book before winter.

I appreciate so much about this book and the message to us all that regardless of our circumstances that with faith and trust in God that we can persevere. The journey of her life that the author Miyoshi take us on through the book is heartbreaking at times yet with each challenge she faces you can see another spiritual muscle emerge as her faith grows stronger. She is very transparent in her feelings and does not shy away from truth no matter how difficult it must have been to share. She has overcome so much and inspires others to as well by keeping God in the forefront always.

This memoir was well written with the author expressions of her journey to triumph in the midst of many trials and tribulations encountered in her life. Great easy read; straight forward and honestly written. The author’s strong faith with a loving family bond in which she was raised encouraged her to persevere the challenges presented in her life. Men and Women should read this memoir whom are dealing with chronic invisible disease, breast cancer, myositis and emotional abuse. The author expresses deep compassion to advocate on all levels of mentions thereof.

I barely sit down and read a book since I competed college which was years ago. I was just not one to read other than my Bible. As a teenager I love to read love stories and I didn't care how long the story was. When I started to read "Broken But Still A Masterpiece" I could barely take a break from this book I had to pull myself away from it to finish my daily work. I love how the Author introduced her family and coming from a great upbringing. This book took me back to my own abuse in my past. I too Prayed constantly to God for my marriage to work. Like Miyoshi I stayed in that marriage until I end up on more medication than I had ever taken even to this day I'm still on medication but now more. She found it not easy to walk away from someone she loved but it's easy to make yourself sick for taking the abuse. I am happy her family especially her son, God Bless him. This book has made me realize even the Prayers that sometimes we are Praying for is exactly what God don't want us to have. I'm so sorry she's suffered from cancer and other medical problems. I love her book and I definitely have to rate her book 5 STAR because it touched my heart but also let me learn never to be quick to know people because you're never know anyone until you're in need of them even then you still don't know them. I am so grateful for this wonderful book I just love it because it help me to put on my thinking cap. I purchased two books one for a friend thats going through mental and physical abuse. I recommend this book for the purpose of knowledge, and keeping the Faith in God that you maybe Broken But you'll still God's Masterpiece. Love this book. God Bless you.

Finally had the chance to finish my auntie's book and I loved it! I learned things about her childhood that I did not know.I also am a breast cancer survivor and that will always be a memory that I can't even believe that I endured, so to imagine her going through so many other illnesses and health trials just lets us know that God is a way maker and healer. I learned things about my sweet grandma that I didn't know.What stuck out to me was how resilient she was at a young age. It lets me know why my genes are set up the way that they are. It definately runs in the family. She is the baby girl and my mommy is the second oldest to 13. It gives me much pride to see generational strength from God. I also learned a lot about the mental abuse that she endured of which really angers me because of my lack of knowledge. Her transparency is to be commended. God gives us all a story/testimony that is meant to share in order to break cycles and help spread love, peace and guidance.I love u auntie and thanks for telling your story 💋

Miyoshi is such a beautiful person inside and out. I know this because we graduated from the same high school. That saying "What looks good on the outside doesn't mean it's good on the inside". I'm glad she believes in God and God brought her through it all.

With every chapter, I found myself continuously praying with and for the author. At the turn of each page, I was also experiencing and dealing with issues in my own life. This book really encouraged me. It affirms that there is nothing wrong with having God in your life and a therapist too. So many women will be helped and encouraged by this author’ testimony. We will stand taller and stronger after this read. We will all realize that we were once broken, but now we are God’s Masterpieces. I am persuaded more than ever that neither sickness ( none or unknown) or circumstances (present or future) will ever separate me or the author from the love of God!

This book is remarkable, amazing author and overall, IT'S AWESOME!!! It is undeniable that the hand of God is not on this lady's life.This book encouraged me and I KNOW that it will encourage YOU! For anyone who is going through an illness or abuse, IT'S A MUST READ!!!To the Author, thank you for being transparent and sharing your story. Many will be blessed because of your obedience to publish this book.
