the Book
Chains Being Broken
There are chains no one else can see.
In Chains Being Broken, Dawnesha Coleman opens up about the painful reality of being caught in a toxic and abusive relationship, knowing something is hurting you yet struggling to walk away. She explores attraction, manipulation, trauma bonding, repeated returns, spiritual conflict, and the emotional weight of trying to save someone while slowly losing pieces of yourself.
Yet this is not where her story ends. Through honesty, faith, surrender, reflection, and healing, Dawnesha begins to reclaim her peace and recognize her worth. Her journey becomes a message for others who may still feel trapped: freedom may not happen all at once, but every step away from bondage matters.
