Book Synopsis

Unyielding Mother Battles Society's Stigma & Poverty, Inspiring Daughters to Rise Above Struggles: A Tale of Perseverance, Survival, & Hope

SCARRED, But Not Broken is a deeply moving account of resilience, sacrifice, and hope. It unveils the powerful narrative of Helena, a woman thrust into marriage at a tender age and left to raise her daughters alone amid brutal poverty and societal rejection.

Each hunger pang, every betrayal, and the constant humiliation are battles in Helena's war against a world that sees her as worthless. Manipulated by Joe, she gives birth to her seventh daughter, Zira, and struggles to provide for her family while battling despair and alcoholism. Yet, through every hardship, her love for her daughters remains unshaken.

At the heart of the story is Sura, one of Helena's middle daughters. Silently enduring pain and bullying, Sura forms an unbreakable bond with her youngest sister and finds her only hope of escape in education.

SCARRED, But Not Broken is more than a story of survival. It is a testament to a mother's fierce love and a daughter's relentless pursuit of freedom. This inspiring narrative celebrates the strength of women, the importance of education, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of life's harshest realities.

This powerful narrative offers not only a window into generational struggle, but a torch of light for anyone still finding their way through darkness.
