Wouldn’t it be great if someone could shed a little light on why relationships end? Well you’re in luck – New York Times bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant offers some insight in her latest work, Peace from Broken Pieces: How to Get Through What You’re Going Through. In addition to speaking about the ending of her marriage and what she’s learned from past relationships, Vanzant recounts her past TV experience (including being featured on Oprah and having a self-titled show, which was produced by Barbara Walters) and her daughter’s illness and death. Despite the hardships she has endured, Vanzant has managed to pull through and find success, all while offering advice to those who need a little boost of their own. In addition, Peace from Broken Pieces reveals just how much our past relationships influence our decisions, and why it’s important to recognize patterns in ourselves.
