Broken: The Most Shocking Childhood Story Ever Told. An Inspirational Author Who Survived It.

by Shy Keenan, Judy Mason (Narrator)

“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
