Unbroken: My Path From Pain To Purpose
What if your darkest moments held the key to your transformation?
In Unbroken, John Hedges takes readers on an unflinching, deeply personal journey through trauma, rebellion, heartbreak, and healing. From growing up in a rough Kentucky neighborhood to surviving violence, family conflict, teenage street life, failed relationships, fatherhood, and emotional collapse—John’s story is raw, real, and ultimately redemptive.
But this isn’t just a story of surviving.
It’s about breaking free.
John's journey leads him across the world—from jail cells to jungle villages, from construction sites to classrooms in China. Along the way, he battles with depression, reinvents himself as a teacher and entrepreneur, and undergoes a spiritual and emotional awakening that changes everything.
Told with honesty, grit, and a surprising dose of humor, Unbroken is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, lost, or unloved—and wondered if it was too late to change.
Inside you'll
A childhood shaped by pain—and a man shaped by resilience
Stories from gang fights, globe-trotting, and the grit of starting over
The power of forgiveness, self-awareness, and spiritual growth
A reminder that transformation is possible at any stage of life
Whether you’re searching for a fresh start or just want to feel seen in someone else’s story, Unbroken is a powerful reminder that your past doesn’t define you—your choices do.
