Shattering the Mirror is a memoir about one woman’s quest to confront her life and see through the distortions of her traumatic past.

At fifty-one, Lena looks into the eyes of her dying mother, and her warped mirror finally shatters. She sheds her armor and learns to feel, forgive and embrace life.
