Hi!
I would love to share my story and experiences with your audience and you. I am the author of the soon-to-be-published book, Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines. Unbroken explores themes of family, love, and what it means to find your place in a world unwilling to play savior.
A gripping, first-hand account of the effects of untreated mental illness, physical abuse, sexual assault, drug and alcohol addiction, pedophilia, and traumatic foster care, my story is one of destruction and discovery - of darkness given free rein and an innate light that refuses to dim.
I would love to collaborate if any part of my story resonates with you.
Adriene Caldwell is the author of Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines, a powerful trauma memoir that chronicles her journey through pain, resilience, and healing. Living in Houston, Texas, Adriene is a devoted mother to her 20-year-old daughter, a role she considers her greatest accomplishment and source of strength.
Her work is defined by authenticity, empathy, and an unwavering belief in the power of storytelling to heal and inspire. When she isn’t writing, Adriene enjoys exploring Houston’s culture, spending time in nature, and finding moments of peace with her daughter. She continues to inspire others to live courageously—outside the lines.
