Fragments of the Unbroken by Adisa Pruitt
Fragments of the Unbroken is the story of survival through devastation. It is about what it means to carry grief in your body, to fight for justice when no one is listening, and to refuse to let tragedy define you. It is a memoir about family, loss, resilience, and the desperate, unshakable love of a mother searching for her son.
At its core, Fragments of the Unbroken is about carrying both grief and hope in the same breath. It is about learning to honor the dead while choosing to live. And it is about finding light, even when all you have left is a fragment of it.
