When I think of a support group, I think of sad people sitting around talking about their feelings and nothing changing.\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet, when my brother and his best friend, who happens to be a therapist, presented the idea of holding the meetings at my gym, I caved.\u003cbr\u003eBecause I, Benjamin Price, have always tried to rescue the people in my life. But I can't. I've usually failed them.\u003cbr\u003eNow, I'm hosting a trauma support group and desperately trying not to fall into my old habits-of attempting to save everyone.\u003cbr\u003eAnd then, he walks in.\u003cbr\u003eBruised. But not broken. No matter how exhausted he may feel, a strength in him calls to me.\u003cbr\u003eAnd there's no way I can ignore the need deep inside me to at least try. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColby\u003cbr\u003eI'm tired. I'm afraid. And I don't want to go back.\u003cbr\u003eNot to the abusive relationship I told myself I was okay with for years.\u003cbr\u003eBut what am I supposed to do?\u003cbr\u003eI have no real life skills. All my life, I've been told I'm pretty and that's it.\u003cbr\u003eThen I walk into a gym, looking for a job, but I find so much more.\u003cbr\u003eI don't want to trust Ben. I don't believe his help doesn't come with a price.\u003cbr\u003eBut what choice do I really have?\u003cbr\u003eOne thing's for sure . . . Neither of us are getting out of this intact.\u003cbr\u003eWhat we lose though, that's anyone's guess. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e***Bruised But Not Broken is set around a trauma support group and will, therefore, touch on extremely sensitive subjects. I'll always do my best to handle these topics with care and healing, and with no intention of hurting anyone. But please, heed this warning if you have any triggers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicole Dykes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8831724908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798831724905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Nicole Dykes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482700996863,"sku":"9798831724905","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4bf7c51-2ca3-48af-baf5-64188f9550a7.jpg?v=1715999284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bruised-but-not-broken-nicole-dykes-9798831724905","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
