Dented Not Broken: A Jacoby Augustino Story

"They say we're the broken ones, the kids the world couldn't quite fit into its straight lines. But in the Walker Schoolhouse, we've learned that a dent doesn't mean you're done-it just means you've got a story to tell."

Jacoby "Jack" Augustino doesn't mind the noise. In a group home with seven "siblings" who are as brilliant as they are chaotic, silence is the only thing that's actually terrifying. Life at the Walker Schoolhouse is a strange, utopian blend of shared chores, secret handshakes, and the kind of fierce loyalty that only grows in the glittered cracks of a difficult past.

But being "dented" in a world that demands perfection isn't easy. As Jack navigates the hurdles of life-from the internal shadows of his own history to the external pressures of a society that views his home as a landing pad for the lost-he realizes that his biggest challenge isn't fixing his flaws. It's figuring out how to navagate through a family of eight through a world that expects them to fail.

Warm, quirky, and unflinchingly honest, Dented Not Broken is a testament to the beautiful, messy reality of found family. It's a reminder that even when you're pushed to the edge, you can still build a home right where you stand.
