Description
The Sunday Times Bestseller
"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..."
About the Author

Reviews

* Eve magazine *"I found Broken very painful (in fact, I remain haunted by its contents). Shy is trying hard to make the world a safer place for my children."
