We can either break under the weight of life's challenges--or we can bounce back and thrive. To Break or Bounce is Shelley Plumb's story of rediscovery and emotional healing. The action takes place over the course of one day, the day of her grandmother's funeral. During a long walk on her grandmother's property next to a bay, powerful memories return. Shelley reflects back on the events of her life and how her responses to those events and a drive to push harder and harder have left her feeling lost and without a vision of who she is. The reflections bring forth important lessons about the foundations we build our lives on and whether those foundations are solid or shaky. If they are not solid, says Plumb, we won't be able to handle stresses when they come our way. She offers insights about relationships and how important it is to set boundaries, heal past wounds, and to let those we love and trust come close to us once again. Readers follow her through many real-life scenarios--her mother's shocking death when Plumb was a child, divorce, sexual harassment, her grandmother's death, and the delicate balance between being a professional woman and a wife and mother. By the end of the day, Plumb makes sense of painful past memories and offers readers a way to find the stability, balance, and resilience they need to bounce back and take control of their lives and their futures. Dr. Shelley Plumb is a podiatric physician, video coach, prominent speaker, and Executive Producer at PlumbTalk Productions.
