A family torn apart by child abuse, drugs, alcohol, and sex. Everyday is a struggle, just to survive. This book will make you laugh and cry, will break your heart, and maybe even open your eyes a little to what is happening to our children in this world.
I never made it to the seventh grade, due to the fact that my father didn't think it was necessary for women to get an education. I went back to get my GED after he died, to prove him wrong. I never gave up on my dream of being a writer. I believe that anyone can go after their dreams, if you Just keep reaching!
Let me start by saying, this book was truly better than I was expecting it to be. If you are looking for something very dark and depressing this one is for you. I wanted to hate this book because of all the negative events that are presented. The truth was, I had to keep reading. Broken really had me thinking about the cycle of being a violent individual like Kaitlyn parent's before her. It truly is essential. There was something original about this one. It was Stephen King meets Broken childhoods. In the beginning I thought I would only rate this three stars, but five was the lucky number instead. I highly recommend reading it.
