Broken

I will never understand how a community could fail a child that cried so desperately for help. Not only did this book make me sad it also made me angry at those who failed her.
As a child I always felt safe because I had my mom. I can't begine to imagine the amount of fear this girl went through being abused and not being able to depend on her mom for protection.
While reading this I played her favorite song "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and thought about her childhood and I just wanted to cry. It really does seem that song was wrote for her. This is one of the most heartbreaking books I have ever read.
