24 bab Lengkap He doesn't go by Duke anymore.
Once a foster kid lost in the system, now seventeen-year-old Richard is trying to rewrite his life-one therapy session, one heartbreak, one journal entry at a time. Haunted by trauma, shaped by loss, and carrying the weight of abuse no child should have known, Richard clings to the only things that feel real: his chosen family of friends, and the fragile hope that maybe-just maybe-there's something waiting for him on the other side of survival.
Brooke, his childhood friend and emotional anchor, is unraveling beneath the surface. Ronny, a teen father with dreams bigger than his circumstances, is battling demons no one sees. David, the quiet protector, gives more than he gets. And Lynsee, fierce and faith-worn, carries her identity like armor in a world eager to dismantle it.
When grief reopens old wounds and love arrives too late, Richard is forced to face the truth: some people break quietly. Others shatter in public. And sometimes, no matter how hard you try to hold the ones you love together, they slip through your hands anyway.
Broken is a raw, unforgettable portrait of adolescence, resilience, and the invisible scars that shape who we become. Told with piercing emotional clarity and poetic grit, this is a story about what happens when survival isn't enough-and healing becomes its own kind of war.
