UNBROKEN is a true story of a Kenyan-born woman in Massachusetts who walked into an elementary school as a mother responding to a call-and was pulled into the machinery of a system determined to control, accuse, and break her.
In one afternoon, Alice life was split into before and after. What should have been a moment of care became a chain of institutional power: a hallway, police, handcuffs, a cruiser, a station cell, court, reports, investigations, public humiliation, rumors, and paperwork that tried to tell her story in a colder voice than the truth deserved.
This is not a softened story about "a difficult day." It is not a story of bitterness. It is the truth of a woman being broken by the system-watched, restrained, misread, processed, accused, and publicly stripped of dignity-while still refusing to surrender her identity, her faith, or her testimony.
With unflinching honesty and deep spiritual conviction, Alice shares what it means to survive when authority moves faster than compassion, when paperwork speaks louder than humanity, and when systems that should protect instead become the source of trauma. She writes from the fire, not around it.
But UNBROKEN is also a testimony of Jesus Christ.
It is the story of the God who remained in the hallway, in the cruiser, in the cell, in the court, in the silence, and in the long aftermath. It is the story of a woman pressed beyond her strength but preserved by mercy. A woman publicly wounded but privately kept. A woman broken by the system, but not destroyed by it.
This memoir is for anyone who has been misread, overpowered, publicly humiliated, institutionally pressured, or forced to survive a story others tried to write over them.
I was broken by the system. I was kept by God.
Unbroken does not mean untouched. It means not destroyed.
