Overview

The Breaking: No Love-Poems of Shadows and Survival (Book One of Unbroken: A Three-Part Becoming) serves as a primary-source poetic record of adolescent trauma, composed between 2006 and 2010 during the author's formative years, ages fourteen to nineteen. Presented in its unedited form, the collection offers a rare, unmediated account of a young girl's navigation through foster care, familial rupture, and the gradual fragmentation of her psychosocial world. The book is arranged with little context intentionally to bring the reader along with the author in their emotional journey, leading up for more personal and self-explanatory psychological exploration in following pieces. Organized into six thematic sections, The Breaking traces a young survivor's movement through abandonment, longing, and the fragile, often faltering pursuit of selfhood. What emerges is a testament to endurance-an illumination of the small, steady lights that persist even in the darkest spaces. ⚠️ Content Advisory This book contains autobiographical poetry exploring experiences of childhood trauma, foster care, abandonment, and elements of PTSD. Some poems include references to emotional, physical, and sexual harm -although not explicit language, as well as themes of grief and despair. These works are presented as personal testimony rather than for sensational purposes and may be challenging for some readers. Recommended for mature teens and adults.
