Built From Broken (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232689506)

A tragically hilarious memoir about the messes that make us, the wounds that shape us, and what it really takes to rebuild a life from splintered pieces.

There's a moment in every woman's life when she realizes the story she's been living isn't actually the one she wants. For some, it's a quiet nudge. For others, it's a full-blown demolition. Built From Broken is the brutally honest, darkly funny, deeply human memoir of a woman who survived the emotional storms, generational patterns, slammed doors, "I'm fine" lies, and the quiet ache of always being the strong one - and finally chose herself anyway.

With a voice that's equal parts sharp, vulnerable, and unapologetically real, Tabatha takes you through the chapters that built her: the early wounds nobody talked about, the cycles she was trained to normalize, the chaos she learned to outrun, and the love she fought to believe she deserved. There are no neat bows, miracle cures, or perfectly highlighted therapist quotes here - just one woman telling the truth about what it actually looks like to crawl out of survival mode and rebuild a life that feels like peace instead of punishment.

This isn't a story about being broken.
It's a story about becoming.
About the girl who hid her feelings to stay safe.
The woman who carried everyone else's weight.
And the human being who finally decided she was worth rescuing, even when no one else showed up.

Built From Broken blends humor with heartbreak, softness with strength, and sarcasm with soul. One chapter will have you laughing at the absurdity of life, the next will hit that tender spot you've been ignoring. It's not a self-help book - but you'll probably help yourself while reading it. It's not a guide - but you might recognize your own fingerprints on the pages. And it's not a love story - except for the part where she learns to love herself in a way she didn't know was possible.

For every woman who grew up too fast, loved too hard, forgave too easily, or lost herself in the chaos...
For every cycle-breaker who decided the pain stops with her...
For every soul who knows what it's like to smile in public and crumble in private...

This book is your mirror.
Your permission slip.
Your reminder that you are not alone, not crazy, and not beyond repair.

Because sometimes the strongest, most breathtaking versions of us aren't the ones untouched by life - but the ones rebuilt from the wreckage.

If you've ever whispered "I'm fine" while falling apart... this story will feel like home.
