The bad circumstances of our past and present should not limit us; instead, we should draw valuable lessons from them. This is a common theme in Dustin Bryans nonfiction, From Broken to Blessed, in which he looks back down on the journey he has been through, reflecting on the people and events that shaped his life. With this book, he shows where he has come from and the life troubles he has endured so far. Whereas his dad and mum were broken inside and had their differences, and as a result did not care for him and his brother, he rose above the darkness and broke the cycle of the past. Overall, this book is a testament to the challenges children in dysfunctional marriages face, and for the foster parents out there, those eager to make the world a better place for the children, you are very much appreciated and celebrated here. For those going through bad times, this book offers hope, reminding us of all that we are not alone in our problems and should forge ahead. Dustins take on Mum and Dad is spot on, as well as the relatives around which his life orbited. When remembering who his first dad was, he reveals a man who let silence speak out loud instead of confronting his wife when threatened with divorce. He reveals the scars that the Gulf war left on this man. Further, he shows us a father who called the police on his son and sided with his girlfriend when his children needed him the most. And when he subjects the spotlight on his mother, Julie, he reveals a woman utterly broken inside, irreparable. A woman who elected to celebrate her sons release from rehab by taking him to Put-In-Bay, a place known for its vibrant drinking culture. Slowly by slowly, Dustin shows how his mother deteriorated, financially and mentally. Was this woman capable of love? Well, there is a memorable scene in which her return to the house to pick up a forgotten item exposed her to the abuse she had been subjecting her children to every time she left them with their violent stepdad. Dustin also captures Beverlys sense of humor and the goodness of his uncle Mike. The books message reaches readers of memoirs and biographies the loudest because of Dustin's prose. His words vividly convey the sadness, joy, sense of despair, and so much of his experiences both as a child and as an adult. They were two broken people, weighed down by their own baggage, pain, and inability to communicate. Their marriage was not a battle between a hero and a villain but a tragic clash of wounded souls, writes he. Simple yet evocative.
