Unfixed: A Memoir of Family, Mystery, and the Currents That Carry You Home

Chilling. Horror. Kimberly's words are so powerful, I felt as if I were going through the experience with her. - Sara Davidson, NYT bestselling author

Tremendous writing. The unease is inescapable. - Kenny Farquharson - senior columnist with The Times, Edinburgh

Kimberly's recounting of her childhood is so alive and raw. - Ben Wakeman, author, producer, musician

This story has all the makings of a limited series. It has perfect A and B storylines, two mysteries running in parallel timelines, two layered characters with two hearts both in deep conflict with themselves, both fueling the engines for the overall story--yearning curiosity versus fear/delight at what one discovers about one's parentage. It's so Noah Hawley meets folk mystery. - Alisa Kennedy Jones, TV writer/author

What do you do when the foundations of your life-family, identity, and health-begin to crack beneath your feet? In Unfixed, Kimberly takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the uncharted waters of family secrets, chronic illness, and the relentless search for truth and forgiveness.

When Warner's seemingly stable world begins to unravel, she discovers that her father--a figure both present and painfully absent-harbors a long-buried secret. This revelation propels her into an emotional labyrinth of discovery, forcing her to confront the ghosts of her past and redefine the meaning of home, family, and self.

Set against the backdrop of Warner's battle with an elusive and debilitating illness, Unfixed is a deeply intimate exploration of resilience and vulnerability. Warner masterfully weaves together threads of personal struggle and universal themes, painting a portrait of a life in flux that will resonate with anyone who has ever sought clarity in chaos.

At its heart, Unfixed is a story of reckoning--not only with the haunting specter of a lost father but also with the body's betrayal and the limits of medical certainty. With the lyricism of Dani Shapiro's Inheritance and the rich emotional depth of Where the Crawdads Sing, Warner crafts a narrative that is as gripping as it is profoundly moving.

Through luminous prose and unflinching honesty, Unfixed reveals the beauty and heartbreak of uncovering truths that were never meant to be found. It is a celebration of the human spirit's capacity to adapt and thrive in the face of the unknown, offering readers a poignant reminder that even in the most unfixed of lives, there is room for hope, connection, and self-discovery.

Perfect for readers who find solace in stories of resilience and transformation, Unfixed invites you to walk alongside Warner on a journey of uncovering, unraveling, and ultimately rebuilding.
