As children, we envision the perfect life, for girls our "fairytale" with love and romance. We dream of our wedding day, the ideal man, successful careers, children - you know, "The American Dream." Yet, life seems to always take us on a journey with purposeful hurdles we must overcome.Hurdles that seemingly combat our perfect vision and create a detour. The beauty in the detours along the way is the grace so freely given to us all. Looking back, reminiscing on our journey affords us the opportunity to share and appreciate the beauty in the ashes. Gracefully Broken is atransparent journey of self-discovery for two women, with two different stories, saved by grace.
