"Laurie Fuqua's Broken Branches, Unbroken Spirit is a soul-baring testimony that speaks to the power of healing, faith, and generational reckoning. In this beautifully written [work], Laurie invites us into the shadows of her beginnings with unflinching honesty and deep spiritual insight. Her story unfolds in a cadence familiar to so many women of faith—those who have inherited both the strength and the silence of the women before them. Through vivid imagery and tender reflection, she gives voice to wounds often buried beneath family loyalty and cultural expectation. What makes this work remarkable is not just the storytelling, but the grace with which Laurie walks us through cycles of trauma without ever abandoning hope. Her journey reminds us that restoration is not always loud or linear—it is often found in quiet confrontations at kitchen tables, in whispered prayers, and in the decision to forgive even when the pain is fresh. This is a book that belongs in church circles, sister circles, and every space where women gather to seek truth, healing, and God's redemptive love. Laurie doesn't just share her story—she offers a mirror, a ministry, and a moment of release for every reader carrying the weight of broken branches." Dr. Angela Draper, Elementary Principal Supervisor Guilford County Schools "[When] I finished reading it, I honestly had to sit with it for a moment - it's powerful. The way you share your story with such raw honesty and depth really moved me. I could feel the weight of everything you've been through but also the strength and faith that carried you through it. Your reflections on generational trauma, forgiveness, and family hit hard. It reminded me how deeply our past can shape us; but also how faith can be the key to breaking cycles and finding peace. Your words are not only courageous, they're a testimony."
