Beyond the Break: A Mother's & Daughter's Journey of Healing

By Anderal Ward

Beyond the Break is a raw, faith-filled journey through grief, resilience, and communal healing. Written by mother and daughter duo Anderal Ward and Amber Ward, this memoir unfolds in the aftermath of unimaginable loss; the death of Charles Leonard Ward IV (CJ) by suicide, and the spiritual, emotional, and cultural transformation that followed. With vulnerability and scripture woven throughout, Beyond the Break offers a deeply personal story of rebuilding: from soul fractures to sacred restoration, from silence to truth-telling, and from mourning to mission. This book invites readers to confront grief, challenge stigma, and embrace healing-one breath, one step, and one moment at a time. Whether you are a grieving parent, a mental health advocate, a faith leader, or someone seeking light in the darkness, this memoir will meet you where you are and remind you: Even in this, there is still beauty beyond the break.
