Unbroken Book Reviews Novels & Stories

The Unbroken Collection continued travelling across Europe. More women came forward. More stories emerged. More conversations happened. The movement had become larger than any of them.

A week later, a letter arrived. Not an email. Not a text. A real letter. Handwritten. Delivered by post. The sight alone felt unusual. Almost old fashioned.

"Listen to me. Really listen. You are not weapon. You are not mistake. You are not wrong. You are extraordinary. Different. Special. And yes, that makes things hard. Makes fitting in impossible. Makes normal life—difficult. But that does not make you wrong. That makes you rare. That makes you—priceless." "I do not feel priceless. I feel broken." "Broken is how we feel before we heal. Broken is temporary. Broken is—human. Everyone feels broken sometimes. Even normal people. Especially normal people. You think Marco does not feel broken? You think Sophie does not have nights where she cries and feels wrong? Everyone does. Everyone hurts. Everyone struggles. You are not alone in that. You are j

Too much fire and not enough air. She sat in her study, lights dim, the rain still tapping against the old glass. Before her lay a blank leather-bound book. She dipped the pen in ink, then paused. She wrote: For my son. “The world you inherit is broken. You are not born to fix it. You are born to survive it. This is not a cradle song. This is a manual of war.” She titled the first page: THE BOOK OF BLOOD She stopped. Closed her eyes. Listened to the wind.

“That line about choosing yourself? I underlined it three times.” Another laughed. “I didn’t expect your book to call me out like that. I was reading on the bus and just sat there thinking… wow. Okay.” A girl no older than twenty stood in front of me, hands shaking slightly. “Your character made me feel less crazy,” she said, eyes glassy. “Like maybe I’m not broken for wanting more.” She cried before she finished the sentence. I slid tissues across the table and squeezed her hand, my throat tight in that quiet way.

Some small, fractured part of me wanted to be broken by him. **************** AUTHOR’S NOTE Thank you so much for reading this story.

The book was reviewed in four national publications within the first week. All four noted that it was unusual. Part engineering memoir. Part family history. Part of the argument about what happened to people who were structurally excluded from the families they were born into and what they built when they found their way in any way. One reviewer wrote: "Luther writes about bridges as other people write about love — with the complete conviction of someone for whom the subject is not metaphor but life itself. The book's central argument, that the invisible work of understanding what lies beneath is the foundation of everything visible, is both a professional manifesto and a deeply personal rec

The truck came to a halt and I sat down on the floor, waiting for the right time to take off. I heard someone unbolt the door and open it. Immediately he peered inside, I rose to my feet. Giving him a kick on the face, I somersaulted out of the truck, landing on my two feet behind the startled man who was clutching at his broken nose. I started to run. I could hear the sounds of their feet as they chased after me like blood thirsty hounds. I ran on, not stopping to catch my breath.

Until he engulfed me into the biggest, longest, best hug. It was almost like he fixed all my broken pieces.

Rocca estate. When Steven rushed back, he found Ada a wreck—hair wild, clothes ripped, face streaked with dirt and tears. She looked like something dragged out of hell. She had Oliver locked in a room, clinging to him, refusing to open the door for anyone. The second Miranda saw Steven, her eyes lit up like she'd just found an anchor. "Steven, Ada's lost it, but Ollie's innocent. You have to save him!" Steven's face was haggard, his bloodshot eyes dull with exhaustion. He gave a tight nod, ordered the door forced open, and stepped inside.

According to him, this book sharpened him more than he thought any book could. “Oh, and I am venturing into another book LETTERS TO MY RAP*ST, a book by bestselling author Fatima Ashabe… I'm not sure I pronounced the name right. It is a book written by a Nigerian author about rape victims, giving us a dive into their life after rape, it is such an emotional rollercoaster. Dad said I have to get mine because of the sticker on the back. Said it is about healing and stuff. I have to burn the paper after writing to my broken self and all. Said the book is not really about rape but about broken people..” Eli kept talking while David looked around the room.
