    About this audiobook

    Carla Stewart follows up her OFBI Fiction Book of the year debut with her compelling novel Broken Wings. Stage performers Gabe and Mitzi Steiner captured America's heart for two decades. Now, after 60 wonderful years of marriage, Gabe has drifted into the fog of Alzheimer's, leaving Mitzi to ponder her future-alone. In the midst of her own grief, Mitzi encounters a battered young woman desperate for someone to help her pick up the broken pieces of her life. "A memorable story, beautifully written."-Tina Forkner, best-selling author

      Broken WingsCarla StewartPublished by Hatchette Book GroupSource: Faithwords Review Mitzi is a retired jazz singer whose husband Gabe ails with late stages alzheimers and Brooke a young woman engaged to an up and coming lawyer and physical abuser Lance. Their stories come together as Mitzi a hospital volunteer sees Brooke in the emergency room after Lance has attacked her. Brooke claims it an accident of her cat tripping her, Mitzi in her years of wisdom knows better. Mitzi connects with Brooke and their friendship grows as Brooke begins to trust Mitzi and realizes the horror of a life she is about to commit to. Brooke is much like the granddaughter Mitzi never had. Mitzi shares her life story with Brooke, reminiscing as if it is happening in flashback. She shares the abuse her own mother encountered by the hand of her father, their escape and loss of her mother in a storm, caring for younger siblings, striking out on her own, friends along the way, and how God kept her in the palm of His hand. Mitzi’s care and wisdom helps Brooke to seek out the direction in her life that she longs to find. At the same time Brooke is a comfort to Mitzi as she daily visits and reminisces about her past life with Gabe. A beautiful story about 2 women who share a rare type of friendship that ministers to both of them in many ways. Mitzi’s hope in Christ and his having His eye on the sparrow brings healing to Brooke and hope for both of them for their future. I couldn’t put this book down, it was so heartwarming and rich in history. I loved hearing about Mitzi’s time in the early years of her singing days in Tulsa and about the jazz era of the time. Great research went into Carla Stewart’s book and I appreciate the depth of knowledge she shares. I received this book from Faithwords in exchange for an honest review.

      Broken Wings is an extremely well-written and emotional book. The subjects of Alzheimer’s and domestic abuse are handled very carefully and with immense compassion, though I will give my normal caveat that if your life has been touched by domestic abuse, this book may trigger memories so be mindful. Broken Wings is a two-part story, one part tells Brooke’s story from the present and the other Mitzi’s from the 1930s. This title falls under the genre of Christian Fiction, and I don’t normally read this genre--as I’m not a Christian--but the story is so touching that the faith aspect was easily overlooked for me. I recommend this for fans of Francine Rivers, Nicholas Sparks, Fannie Flagg and Joshilyn Jackson. 3/5.

      Broken Wings for me was a very emotional book. It actually tells two different stories. One is of Gabe and Mitzi Steiner, who are now elderly, with Mitzi having had to put the love of her life in a nursing home due to Alzheimers. The other story is of Brooke Woodson who is finding out that the man she loves is the not the man for her. As Brooke finds the strength to carry on with her life in spite of the danger that surrounds her, she befriends Mitzi who tells her own story of her life to help Brooke heal. The author deals with Alzheimers and domestic abuse in a very compassionate way. I found myself getting angry in certain parts and being tearful in others. A very uplifting story, that I hightly recommend
