Broken Water is a powerful true story of faith, resilience, and reunion. Although she was separated from her nine sisters at a young age, Barbara Lane never lost hope of finding them again. Through years of determination, prayer, and divine intervention, she uncovered their incredible journeys and brought them back together. More than a memoir, Broken Water is a testament to the strength of faith, family, and perseverance, inspiring all who seek healing, reconciliation, and hope.

“This is one of the best books I have ever read! Barbara is an excellent writer. Her journey to reunite her sisters is one that is honest, inspirational and makes the reader realize that love and resilience surpasses all. Barbara's love for family and strong faith is evident throughout this book. This is not a book to be put on a shelf in a bookcase after being read; but rather one to keep on your nightstand to read passages again and again,” – John GW.

The Illumination Book Awards celebrate books illuminating the Christian faith and inspire, guide, and encourage readers. Lane’s work exemplifies these values, offering a compelling and spiritually enriching experience that has resonated with audiences worldwide.
