Unshattered by Dr. Mawdo Fall

In 1990s Senegal, where tradition clashes with modern dreams, fifteen-year-old Bakari faces an unimaginable loss. Orphaned and grieving, he must navigate a world fractured by loss while searching for a way forward.

With only fragments of his family’s wisdom as his guide, Bakari struggles to rebuild his life. He confronts the sharp divides between tradition, ambition, and the weight of his past. He must discover what it truly takes to remain unshattered.

Unshattered is an instigating coming-of-age story about grief, resilience, and the enduring power of hope. Each page challenges you to ask: What does it mean to remain unbroken in a world that feels on the brink of collapse?
