Broken, Not Buried: Octavia Meets Ruth: What Becomes of a girl with PTSD in one hand and a Bible in the other?

By Sharon Cannon

What becomes of a girl with PTSD in one hand and a Bible in the other?

At nine years old, Octavia Johnson watched her world shatter in a single gunshot.
Now she's learning to survive Opa-locka's streets with nothing but grit, a tattered Bible, and the stories of women who refused to give up.

From Ruth's fields to the broken sidewalks of Liberty City, Octavia finds strength in ancient loyalty, courage in whispered prayers, and hope in small acts of kindness. But every new home brings new battles-some she fights with words, others with silence.

This is not just the story of surviving trauma.
It's the story of owning your field when the world tries to push you out of it.

If you've ever felt unseen, unwanted, or unworthy-Octavia's fight is your invitation to rise.
