In this candid memoir, Jackson brings to life her experience of growing up in the home with an alcoholic father, a shameful and embarrassing marriage and the escape to Wisconsin that would become her lifesaver. Jackson sheds light on her restoration process that ended with her return to Louisiana as a preacher, which brings about a new set of difficulties. Not Built to Break is a story about choices and consequences and how those choices may sidetrack God’s ultimate plans for our lives but they do not stop them. Though families can be the source of pain, they also provide a strong solid foundation on which to stand and to build. This story is also a powerful one of restoration and jubilation.
