This was such an emotionally written book (that affected me so deeply)that it has taken me some time to think about how to word my review.
BROKEN is a heart breaking account of YES one of the worst cases of child abuse I have ever read. I found myself horrified yet unable to stop turning the pages to find out how she survivied to even write this.
I loved the ending and knowing that "the monsters" in her life were held accountable (but not as much as they should of been). What was so sad for me was she never stopped loving the one person who should of protected her...her own mother. We see this so often in abused children, no matter how bad the abuse is, they still love and want the acceptance of the parent or loved one. Almost like the dog who is kicked and will still crawl back for more. I am happy for Shy that she was able to get past her childhood abuse and share her story with the world. I am sure that it was part of her healing process and may I say she has done a fine job and has went on to be an advocate for others. This is well written, well edited and well done! Bravo Shy!
