Broken: The most shocking childhood story ever told. An inspirational author who survived it.

Written by Shy Keenan

Narrated by Judy Mason

“I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned.

But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim – that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix – a work in progress. This is my story…”

"Beaten, left for dead and raped from the age of four, but now a national campaigner - Shy Keenan, we salute you."― Eve magazine

Reviews for Broken

[Joyce Harout · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of the best books I've ever read. Spectacular story of courage and determination. Bravo!

If one never understood how sexually abused children end up in foster care, prostitution rings, suicides, life-ending drug use, or even becoming bad parents themselves. Here is a clear narrated true story of how it happens.

I know there are strong minded great people in this world, but I have to say, Shy is one of a kind.
