Picking Up the Pieces to 100 Broken Promises

by Yushima Cherry Burks


After 40 years of disappointment, from people that I love the most, I’ve learned that the only promises I can depend on come from God. Things aren’t perfect, but I'm learning how to heal with a knife still in my back. Picking Up the Pieces to 100 Broken Promises is my guide on how to navigate life and heal in conditions that aren’t always pleasant. This book consists of a collection of events experienced from my perspective. There are intimate details that may not show myself or others in the best light, but it’s my truth and I choose to tell my story, because it's mine to tell.



Picking up the Pieces to 100 Broken Promises

Picking up the Pieces to 100 Broken Promises, the memoir, is a gripping nonfiction biographic collection of stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. This book is full of shared relatable and off the wall experiences that will make you laugh, touch your heart, ignite rage and inspire change.


Trauma changes us, and since our experiences mold us into the people we are today, our relationships are affected. The good news is that we can heal from our past and begin walking in our purpose and our healing journey simultaneously.


As a child who grew up in an abusive environment,  I learned how to compartmentalize pieces of myself, and now years later as an LMSW I've learned how to heal and embrace all of me so that you can too.

This book consists of real life situations and the Workbook provides evidenced based solutions to your very real problems.


This story is our story. It's about the little girl longing for love and acceptance, the teenager who wanted nothing more than to feel something other than sadness, it's about being violated and feeling unsafe even at home.  It's about showing up for others and learning how to show up for yourself. It's a reminder of who you were created to be. It's about hope, healing, happiness and peace. This story is about you and me.


Picking up the Pieces to 100 Broken Promises is available online at every major bookstore.
