Synopsis
Unbreakable. That’s a big ask. It’s bigger than what we view as healed, and it’s beyond mere survival.
We deserve and are worthy of more than just relief.
Written in blisteringly unflinching prose, Becoming Unbreakable is simultaneously a companion to therapy, a warm-up to deeper healing, and a breathtaking dissection of the traumas that underline our lives—but which don’t have to define us.
Within an eight-year period, author Dana Killion broke free from an addictive marriage with a husband who harbored a secret life, suffered the loss of both of her parents, and endured the death of her oldest son from fentanyl. Emerging and finding a way through, despite the ossifying effects of grief, Killion transformed her life and became unbreakable. Her process for this becoming is carefully detailed, providing guidance, support, and, crucially, a path forward.
In sharing her story and the framework of her metamorphosis, Killion addresses foundational questions that get to the heart of our traumatic responses: Why do some of us become hollow shells of the person we were, even after therapy? How do some of us process our grief more smoothly and carry on? How do we become someone scarred, but not forever broken?
Trauma doesn’t have to win. The choice is ours.

About the Author
Growing up in Wisconsin, Dana Killion developed a curiosity for the world beyond the confines of small-town life. Her thirst for more exhilarating pastures led to a career in the apparel industry, and, eventually, to her love of story: First with fiction, then with memoir, as life in the turmoil of an addictive marriage became a situation where the only way through was to write.
As she wrote, the themes in her personal trauma became clear and loud and screamed for attention. But Dana’s traumas continued, culminating with the death of her oldest son. And she did what she had learned to do: She used her trauma, and the writing of it, to work through her pain. In the process, she realized she had become unbreakable. She knew what to do. She could revisit the steps she’d taken in her own reinvention, and she could identify and describe the work. She had a process that got her to unbreakable.
Dana currently splits her time between Chicago, Illinois, and Tucson, Arizona, with her kitty, Isabel, happily avoiding snow and awaiting her next adventure.
