In Allen's Walking on Broken Glass, Leah Thornton is a functional alcoholic, always craving something to drink when it comes to a stressful situation or just trying to deal with everyday routine. Fortunately, she has a good friend, Molly, who confronts her about the life she's missing out on. Realizing she is in fact at the end of her rope, Leah agrees to admit herself to a rehabilitation center in order that she might recover her life.
While in the center, Leah discovers a rest and a security in this environment she has never experienced before. At the same time, she is forced to confront the demons in her life that led her to where she is at now. Fighting through painful memories of sexual assault, a lost baby, a current bad marriage and controlling and judgmental in-laws, Leah presses toward her prize of sobriety and in the healing, matures into a woman of confidence and faith as God works in her heart.
Walking on Broken Glass is a delightful novel that speaks volumes of truth and witnesses the power of God and His ability to restore those things that have been considered lost.
