A disagreement between Madison and her parents and a fateful trip to the mall leaves Madison clinging to life and her family clinging to hope. As she lies in the hospital, powerless and lifeless, a divine veil covers her, bringing with it colorful scenes from her life.

With the dolls Madison bought as Christmas gifts for her niece and nephew symbolizing her parents, her dreams begin to retell family stories that highlight the importance of upholding and cherishing love, courage, kindness, strength, and humor. These divine snapshots of her life provide Madison with life-changing revelations that ultimately transform her destiny.

Broken Dolls is about believing in the Divine power, even in times when we feel the most powerless. His intuitive power sustains us until we heal, allowing us to help ourselves and others. Through divine intervention, we are reminded of the value of love and affection for those in our lives.
