Breaking the Line is Rebecca Dixon Beasley’s deeply personal exploration of family trauma, survival, science, and healing across generations.
Beginning with family history and continuing through her own childhood and adulthood, Rebecca examines how generations shaped by war, poverty, loss, religious pressure, violence, secrecy, betrayal, addiction, parentification, and emotional survival created patterns that continued long after the original crises were gone.
Yet Rebecca does something unusual with the memoir form.
