Beauty in the Broken Places (2018) is a departure from Pataki’s historical fiction. The book is a memoir about her husband Dave’s stroke at 30 and the experience of supporting him through recovery while pregnant with their daughter.
The memoir received attention for its direct and honest account of a medical crisis in young marriage, and it sits alongside Pataki’s fiction as a demonstration of the personal stakes that inform her wider interest in stories of women navigating difficult circumstances.
