Woven: A Raveled Line

Created for our Sisters Behind the Walls

Woven exists in honor of a woman named Lisa—my friend, my mirror, the reminder that even the most forgotten stories can bloom again.

Logo for My Friend Lisa, the advocacy branch of The Fierce Grace Movement.

Lisa taught me what it means to sit in truth, to hold pain with open hands, and to walk toward healing one fragile thread at a time.
This series carries her fingerprints—not in biography, but in spirit.

Her tenderness.
Her grit.
Her faith in small beginnings
.

Woven is my promise that women like Lisa are never unseen again..

Created by Toby Dorr and the Fierce Grace Movement, Woven grew out of years of listening to women whose stories were silenced.

The Four Threads

Out of Lisa’s quiet strength came a series woven for every woman finding her way back to herself.

Four threads.
Four ways of becoming.
One journey toward wholeness.

Each Woven book invites women to rediscover the pieces of themselves they were never meant to lose.

How Woven Supports Women Behind Bars

Woven is designed specifically for women navigating incarceration, re-entry, trauma, and transition.

Trauma-informed prompts that honor shame, loss, and survival without re-traumatizing.

Gentle structure that works whether a woman writes daily or once a week.

Language of grace, not judgment, rooted in dignity and second chances.

Designed for groups or solo use—book clubs, chaplain programs, reentry classes, or one woman in her bunk with a pen.

How Facilities and Programs Use Woven

Chaplains, reentry coordinators, program directors, and volunteers use Woven as a flexible companion to existing classes or as a stand-alone program. Books can be used one at a time, as a complete bundle, or woven into other curriculum.

  • Small groups led by staff or volunteers
  • One-on-one mentoring
  • Self-paced journaling with optional check-ins
  • Pre-release or reentry preparation groups
