Review of Broken Spirit Let It Go So You Can Grow (REVISED July, 2021)
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Broken Spirit Let It Go So You Can Grow (REVISED July, 2021)" by Maryam Bey.]
Horrible experiences in life and a broken education system produce broken adults. It can be quite difficult to leave the past behind and find true success. Broken Spirit Let It Go So You Can Grow by Maryam Bey is full of life-changing values for broken spirits.
At different times, Maryam Bey had worked as an employment counselor, program counselor, and later as a job readiness trainer at Essex County Correctional Facility in 2016. She came to realize that most inmates were high school dropouts. It is obvious that poor early education is related to the mass incarceration of individuals. This book draws heavily on the author's experiences and interactions with inmates to show that many of those behind bars are capable of greatness. With the right motivation, they can develop their talents and abilities and become fully integrated into communities. Maryam's successes at her jobs were not coincidental. She shared her unique methods for dealing with inmates including those who could be violent.
I was captivated by this book. Its scope is diverse. It opened my eyes to the workings of the prison system and also exposed how prisoners may become victims of injustice. It was painful to read about what women went through at The Edna Mahan Prison for Women in New Jersey.
Asides from the prison system, I love how the author analyzed the education system and the behaviors of teachers toward learners. Teachers who follow the recommendations of this book will be in a better position to help their students.
Life's experiences have taught Maryam what it feels like to be broken. Leaving serious personal issues unresolved can compound problems ultimately leading to suicide, imprisonment, or other negative outcomes. In simple and concise words, this book discusses how such issues can be resolved.
My most favorite part of this book is the numerous pictures of letters and other items which were gifted to the author for her outstanding care for inmates. I had a nice time going through each of them. There are many references to various books in the text. They added to the depth of information provided.
Although I desired to award this book full stars, the minor but persistent errors in the text prevented it. Therefore, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. It was not professionally edited. This is my only dislike about the book. This book addresses a matter of major concern to all. Well-adjusted inmates will not be threats to our communities. Therefore, prison staff, teachers, and inmates will benefit a great deal from reading this book.

Thought provoking indeed. So many social ills remain unchallenged thereby producing a broken system that does not have any positive effect on the community that should benefit from such systems. Great review indeed.

An area we aren't having a lot of conversations about is reintegration. People, when given a second chance back into the society, deserve to make the most of it.
Nice review.
