Description

"This story has the complexity of The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy, but written with the flow of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson." - Joshua Robertson "When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"- Don Quixote Broken is more than just a memoir. It raises the very question of what truth is then slides you so easily into the mind of Elizabeth that you won't even know you're there. You won't sink into the pages of Broken. You will sink into a mind horrifically warped by trauma. Elizabeth is so far gone from this world, that when William requests an interview, Elizabeth revisits a sleuth of memories that send her flirting with insanity... and Elizabeth takes you with her. You won't be told about the abuse. You will relive it alongside Elizabeth. You won't be told about her feelings. You will experience them. You will tantalize her ID and toy with her sanity while you descend into her subconscious desperate to help Elizabeth as she crosses from one world to the next... and you will go with her, blindly. You will experience the mind of Dissociation, BPD, and PTSD and you will emerge from Elizabeth's mind changed. Broken isn't about my story. It is about perspective. It is about the questions, "Who are we?" "What is reality?" And it forces you to question yours. This is a book that will make you question everything you thought you knew about truth and opinion. It will make you doubt yourself and change your perspective... Repeatedly. It will force you to truly question your beliefs. And it will force you to answer for them. The beautiful thing about Broken, is that each reader takes away something different from this book. Some of you will walk away reviewing and remembering you own trauma. Some of you will compare childhoods. Some of you will walk away analyzing the psyche and Elizabeth's medical conditions-of which there are many-and attempt to diagnose her. Some of you will walk away questioning the world around you and dipping deep into philosophy and existentialism. No one will put this book down and dismiss it as "just another read." WARNING! Broken is dangerous for some readers! The topics covered in Broken are difficult for some people. I portray a number of sensitive subject matters including animal abuse, torture, graphic rape scenes, violence, strong language, and drug references. I do not sugar coat any of this. Rape, torture, and abuse are true horrors people live through. No dramatization was needed for this part, and I do not believe in softening the truth. Broken is brutal, ugly, and honest. It was not written for shock factor. It was written only for me. If you are victim of sexual abuse, I strongly encourage you to speak to a therapist before reading this book. Not doing so could prematurely awaken memories you may not be ready for. The results could be disastrous. Legal Disclaimer Broken is a work of creative nonfiction.
