What if what you've been through didn't define you-but awakened something within you?
In After the Breaking: My Journey of Faith, Healing, and Reclaiming My Life, Atara Estes shares her powerful true story of surviving trauma, reclaiming her voice, and discovering purpose beyond pain.
Originally published in 2014 as Damaged Goods: My Journey, this newly released revised memoir returns twelve years later-still raw, still real, and still rooted in lived experience. This is not a rewritten story. It is the same unfiltered truth, now carried by a woman who has grown, healed, and been empowered to guide others.
This book is a testimony of what it means to endure what should have broken you... and still rise.
Inside this edition, you will find:
- The original unfiltered testimony-preserved with care
- A refined and more intentional reading experience
- Enhanced clarity and flow for deeper connection
- Select visual storytelling art pieces expressing healing and transformation
- Reflections that honor growth, faith, and rebuilding after trauma
More than a story, this book is a reflection of rebirth-a life that did not end in trauma, but was rebuilt through faith, resilience, and intentional healing.
After surviving gun violence and domestic violence, Atara Estes has transformed her lived experience into a platform of healing, advocacy, and leadership. Today, she is not only a survivor-she is a voice for those seeking to rebuild their lives and reclaim their identity after trauma.
Through her work with TATU Your Wellbeing and TATU Brands, LLC, she creates spaces for emotional wellness, personal growth, and purpose-driven living.
If you've ever felt:
- Defined by your past
- Silenced by your pain
- Unsure of how to move forward
This book is a reminder that your story is not over.
This is not about what happened to you.
This is about what you choose to build after.
Because the truth is...
You are not damaged.
You are becoming.
-Atara Estes
Empowered by Grace. Crowned in Purpose.
