Unbroken: Becoming Herself: A Novel

By: Dr Vinaya Prabha

They told Ishita she was lucky.

A surgeon for a husband. A good family. A comfortable life.

So why did she feel like she was vanishing?

There were no bruises to show anyone. No screaming matches to point to. Just his icy silences. His words that cut while pretending to care. His mother who made sure Ishita knew she'd never measure up.

The architect who once built with certainty now doubts her own memory.

When she finally says she can't continue, the chorus begins:

"You're throwing away a good marriage."

"He never laid a hand on you."

"What will people say?"

"What more do you want?"

But a therapist names what Ishita has been living. Friends see through the facade. And Ishita slowly realizes what it takes to return to herself.

Unbroken: Becoming Herself is a novel about psychological abuse. About being gaslit until you can't trust yourself. About being convinced that you are the problem. About the internal shifts and quiet strength required for a woman to reclaim her truth.
