Summary

In a pedestrian crosswalk on a quiet tree-lined street, Naseem is hit and then run over three times. Onlookers yell for the driver to stop as she hears her fate in her husband's screams. Is he is watching the mother of his children die? Miraculously, she survives, yet she is no longer the person she worked so hard to be. Her "cracks"-the changes to her body and mind-initially feel impossible to accept. In learning to embrace this new, unrecognizable self, Naseem decides to celebrate the day she almost lost her life as the day she discovered her true strength-her Unbreakable Day. In this unique memoir, equal parts heart wrenching and inspiring, Naseem lays bare the reality of personal trauma-and how we each have the power to reimagine our lives and find beauty in being both broken and unbreakable
