Broken - Just heartbreaking. And no, not an easy read. I wanted to go back in time and rip the heads off her parents and everyone who didn t believe her, and just snatch her and take her away from the situation. Not only did Shy live through all that but she is a brilliant writer as well. How many other children are going through what she went through right now??

IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD LISTENED - This is a true account of what can only be described as a harrowing and unjust life Shy Keenan had to endure.She is now a avid supporter for all children who have and still are living through this horror..I cried when reading this book as I couldnt believe that this could of gone un-noticed by so many services, this was pure ignorance on their part, I just hope that they have learned from this brave woman s experience s and there is support and immediate help to all the children who are still going through this nightmare..Keep going Shy if you can save or help just 1 child from such a life of cruelty it would of been all worth it...

Most Shocking Story - From the first page you are gripped in a world of shocking abuse. Many times i cried, many times i laughed. The sheer disgust of the abuse keeps you reading, searching for hope in the pages. And when it gets happier you want to cry again. You feel so sorry for Shy and her sister throughout the book. And by the end you are desperate for the abusers to pay for their crimes. A night-in-with-some-chocolate-kinda-book. Tissues needed when reading.

Shy Keenan is inspirational. - I wasn t sure at first if I would be able to read this book, but after putting it all into perspective (I could chose to put the book down but Shy Keenan had to live this life), I bit the bullet and was totally hooked from the first chapter. The majority of the time this book is extremely upsetting but my goodness what an inspiration this women is. Broken has enabled me to gain a better understanding of my own child s thoughts and emotions and because of Shy Keenan s brilliant writing, I feel as if I have become a better Mother. Upon finishing Broken I could not stop myself from absolutely sobbing, partly because of what a horrendous life Shy was forced to lead, but mainly because of the disgusting failings of the authorities that were suppose to be in place to help her. I had to keep reminding myself that this all happened in the last 44 years and not in the 1940/50 s.I have now passed this book to a friend, who has already been asked from a friend of hers if she can borrow it after. Shy Keenan is a trully remarkable and brave woman and from this, we can only all learn.

disturbing - This book made me swear out loud lots of times, it made me cry out loud lots of times and it warmed my heart lots of times. A must read.
