Aubrielle Bellamy Knox learned how to survive before she ever learned how to dream.
Raised in a home where love was inconsistent and responsibility fell on the children, Aubri became a second parent to her younger siblings while still a teenager herself. When the weight of neglect and emotional abuse finally breaks her, she leaves home with nothing but her talent, her resilience, and a promise to herself that her life will be different.
Years later, Aubri is carving out a future in California alongside her best friend Lynnox Ivy - a glamorous, wealthy influencer with problems of her own. As Aubri's art begins to gain recognition, an unexpected connection with global superstar Chris Brown pulls her into a world she never imagined for herself - one filled with opportunity, temptation, and the possibility of love.
But just as Aubri begins to thrive, her past comes calling.
When she learns her siblings are still trapped in the same unstable environment she escaped, Aubri must return to Texas and face the woman who broke her - their mother. What follows is a raw, emotional battle for custody, healing, and redemption that tests every relationship in her life.
What We Built from Broken is a powerful story about chosen family, sisterhood, love, and the courage it takes to rebuild a life from the ashes of neglect. It's about what happens when survival turns into purpose - and how sometimes, the strongest families are the ones we choose and fight for.
