Blooming in the Broken Places

Fighting. Dreaming. Becoming.

What if the very places meant to break you are where God grows you the most?

In Blooming in the Broken Places, April Smith shares a raw, unfiltered testimony of survival, faith, injustice, and healing. From childhood trauma and family loss to racism in healthcare, domestic violence, grief, and spiritual warfare, this memoir traces the journey of a woman who refused to be silenced—or destroyed—by the systems and circumstances that tried to define her.

Written with honesty, courage, and unwavering faith, this book is not just a story—it is a declaration.

April takes readers through:

Growing up amid family struggle and emotional wounds Navigating racism, injustice, and silence in schools, workplaces, and hospitals Surviving domestic violence loss and advocating for awareness Wrestling with faith during grief, betrayal, and medical trauma Learning how to stand firm, speak truth, and heal without bitterness

This is a book for:
✔ Women who have survived trauma
✔ Readers seeking faith during hardship
✔ Survivors of domestic violence and injustice
✔ Anyone learning how to advocate for themselves
✔ Believers who refuse to let pain steal their purpose

Blooming in the Broken Places reminds us that resilience is not about pretending the pain didn't happen—it's about refusing to let it have the final word.

You are not broken.
You are becoming.
And even here—God is still working.
