The Unbroken Rose

Broken. A word typically ascribed to fragmented, useless things - not people. A word most would easily impose upon a woman like Dacia, knowing she's been through the kind of things that are meant to leave a person fragmented. A word that comes with pre-conceived notions, judgments... limitations. None of which she embraces, or accepts. Because what if putting the pieces back together is the very thing that makes her stronger?
