"Foreword by Antonio G Scisci, Program Designer and Event PlannerNot Simply Broken, by Betty Khalili, is a wonderful book about one woman's soulful attempt to make sense of the changes in her life. Her message is to try not to shatter apart if you're in a bad situation when life is hard hitting and dismal. The memoir follows her journey from Iran to Canada, focusing on the important lessons she acquired along the way that she could not have planned or imagined. Foreword by Majed Gharavi, PhD in Comparative Study of Religion, Teacher This book is made up of different faces. While most biographies often revolve around life events, this book focuses on the people in the author's life. Each person has a dedicated chapter, and I believe this is the most important takeaway from the book. Our lives are ultimately shaped by the people in it, as opposed to events. The author's description of the people in her book is incredibly detailed. Sometimes I quarreled with them, sometimes I shed tears with them, and sometimes I held their hands tightly in my own... In this book, I realized how alone we truly are as humans - whether we are the oppressor or the oppressed. I also realized that the same loneliness ultimately leads to the discovery of meaning and depth in life. Foreword by Sara Rahimian, B. A, M. A Realtor(R) Betty understands that you must go through your struggles and pains, feel them, experience them, but overcome them. She demonstrates this so well in her memoir. She touches on so many important topics in her book and I am honoured to be a small part of her journey. As a mom, as a wife, as an entrepreneur and ""boss mom"" (Realtor), as an Iranian Canadian, and a person who understands and feels energy, I connected with her story. Her whimsical stories about her childhood and youth capture the readers as she takes you on a journey of immigration, marriage, and personal crisis. Betty will triumph on her journey. It has only just begun; she is not broken!"
