"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places."

- Ernest Hemingway


What does it mean to break, to fall, to fail, to suffer? When we emerge from life's trials, are we the same people we were before they began? In Strong at Broken Places, members from across the League of Utah Writers explore challenges and adversity, illuminating the hope, joy, and triumph of finding strength in the choices we make.
