Praise for Never Broken
"Jewel renders an intimate portrait of a young woman who, although immensely talented, has spent her life "surviving and recovering and problem solving since being a toddler." [Never Broken] is lushly descriptive, chronicling the author's earliest days on the old "homestead," singing in saloons, busking in Mexico, and later living out of broken-down automobiles while trying to make a living in the music business. The author mines her psyche for the benefit of both herself and anyone else embroiled in profound emotional crisis....A moving musical essay that should strike all the right notes with a wide selection of readers."--Kirkus "A deeply personal memoir [that] reveals a cycle of struggles and abuse that, until now, she had kept private....Jewel reflects on an abusive upbringing and the highs and lows of her professional career, including discovering that she was broke at what should have been the pinnacle of success."--The Tennessean "Jewel's Never Broken is the perfect celebrity memoir...Never Broken wants to be the story of a young woman from the hinterlands who stumbles into various experiences and reacts just the way her reader would. But her knowledge keeps sneaking through."--Daniel D'Addario, TIME
