The Unbroken China Doll

Bol

There is freedom in surrendering what no longer feeds the soul. There is peace in inciting chaos on the shadows that seek to steal the joy sheltered in the heart. There is wholeness in breaking cycles passed down from one generation to the next. Who here dares to do what their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers would never dare to do? Who here dares to face the giants their forefathers made peace with, to avoid the crushing that comes with proclaiming "It ends with me"? This collection maps out the true story of a girl's journey to becoming who she was made to be as she takes the first step out of trauma, childhood wounds, religiousness, identity confusion, and other forms of bondage. In this uncertain and uncharted place, she finds love, God, and, ultimately, herself. We lost our native namesand honorunder the South Carolina sun.But the Holy Spiritled me to the waterwritten in the corn rows, and I dipped seven timesto undo the cycles>I amwhere joy begins.My name is Ohr.My mother gave me to Godand God gave methe sword. "The Unbroken China Doll" is a powerful, unapologetic, immersive, and heartfelt read that inspires action. Through detailed narration and words that feel almost tangible, readers are encouraged to reclaim their power, their voices, and their names from every hiding place. Each section begins with custom artwork-visual reflections of the themes and emotions woven through the pages ahead. These illustrations serve as gentle thresholds, guiding you into each chapter of the journey, where memory, meaning, and image meet to create a deeply personal and immersive experience. Reader Note: This poetry collection delves into challenging experiences, including racial and gender-based violence, religious tension, trauma, mental health struggles, pregnancy loss, and grief. Some poems are drawn from real-life events. These works invite reflection, empathy, and healing, but may be emotionally intense for some readers.
