Wherever you are right now.

Some seasons are loud, like illness and pain. Some are quieter, like wondering who you are now. The Unbroken Smile is built for both, and they are the same story.

the woman behind it

Hi. I'm Jill.

In my early thirties, a dog bite gave me Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. It went full body, the rare and brutal version, and I spent years mostly bedbound. I went looking online for people who understood, and all I found was doom and gloom. So I built something else, a place that said the truer thing.

That place became The Unbroken Smile. The books came after. This is the second chapter, and I am choosing it on my own terms.
