Mount Vernon native and first-time author Maxine N. Campbell stopped by the People Before Politics Radio Show, Sunday, May 26th to discuss the release of her upcoming book, ‘Confessions Of A Broken Heart,’ a story of healing through brokenness.

“The book is a true story of where my life was before, during and after being shot while pregnant,” Maxine shares with Black Westchester. “It’s a story of God’s grace, protection, and love for me although I had been broken in so many areas of my life. It’s a story of His miraculous saving power as He saved my son and I from death. We were inches and seconds away from death. A bullet that was supposed to go through my son’s head took a different direction and is lodged to this very day in my back. If it wasn’t for God’s love for me I would have bled to death. I lost everything (job, apartment, confidence, etc). Would have rather died, BUT GOD. Been through hell and back about ten times since then BUT GOD! You name it, I’ve been through it all. The message is to let people know that there is truly nothing impossible for God. And great things happen when we decide to give Him all the broken pieces.”

Maxine N. Campbell is a mother, educator, and most of all a woman servant-leader of God. She graduated Cum Laude from the City University of New York-Lehman College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Africana & Africana American Studies.
