The Puppet

Marionette, a puppet, runs away from her abusive master, and happens upon an elderly baker who takes her in, teaching Marionette how to make bread. The Puppet goes through a long and painful journey of healing as she goes through life as a broken and forsaken doll.

"M.C. Bradley's The Puppet is an intriguing tale that reveals the depths of hopelessness people can succumb to when they grow up with trauma... and how they pull themselves out of it-no strings attached." - Sharla Lee, Bestselling Author of Catnip of Life: poetry

"Escaping from trauma doesn't make it go away, which Marionette soon grows to learn. Healing is the only way to free herself from the strings placed on her in The Puppet."
- Christina Yackery, Bestselling Author of Call Me Ninnie: From Hell to Hope: Reclaiming My Identity From an Eating Disorder, Addiction, and Disease
