Far From Broken centers on the "checklist child" from a broken family as she unpacks her life in therapy. Throughout the collection, she learns about her C-PTSD, dissociation, and depression and learns to care for herself while building a full, healthy life of her own.
As an expansion of her spoken word album, Depression Holders and Secret Keepers, Kelsey Bigelow takes readers through the nuances of healing in an effort to show us that healing is not linear, but it is possible. Throughout Far From Broken, Kelsey shares her story in an effort to encourage each of us to make life better and to remind us that we are, in fact, not alone.
