Breaking the Chains is a raw and deeply personal journey through trauma, abuse, survival, healing, and self-discovery.

Through memoir-style storytelling and emotionally powerful poetry, Jessica A. Kreuzer shares her experience navigating childhood trauma, domestic abuse, manipulation, isolation, and the long path toward reclaiming her identity and peace.

From the first sparks of warning signs to the blazing realization of survival, this collection walks readers through pain, resilience, faith, forgiveness, and ultimately becoming the light after darkness.

Blending prose and poetry, Breaking the Chains offers hope to survivors, validation to those who feel unseen, and encouragement to anyone learning how to heal from the wounds of the past.

This is not just a story about surviving abuse.

It is a story about rising.
