À propos de cet audio

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....

"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." (Observer)

"Beaten, left for dead and raped from the age of four, but now a national campaigner—Shy Keenan, we salute you." (Eve magazine)

Bravely sharing her story gives hope to victims that they can survive, find their place in society and thrive. Keenan should be so proud of everything she and Palin have achieved.

Superbly written, superbly narrated….an eye-opener for sure.
I was shocked and completely in awe of Shy Keenan’s resiliency and dogged determination to keep picking her broken self up and push,push,pushing on with coming out the other side as a survivor 100 times stronger than even she ever could ever imagine !

Shocking, heart wrenching - absolute must-read for those who would never believe what one tortured person has survived.

Amazingly candid story about a horrific childhood that couldn’t stop the courage and strength of the author to take unbelievable steps for the sake of all abused children.

Courage

When listening to this book, I kept thinking there is no way it could possibly get worse for this child. Then it did get worse, again and again. The strength Shy has while a small child and into adulthood is breath taking. I cannot imagine how this is the truth - and it is. The facts and truths in this documentary are shocking. The book was very well written, and the audible reader did an excellent job in portraying this horrendous childhood and life that Shy has. It is difficult to listen to, only because you want to shout at the top of your lungs WHY?! STOP!! Someone please believe her!

How is this real? How could all of this happen?

I found this story to be written very well, with as much description as possible, considering the topic.

One of the best/worst stories written

This book is one of the hardest I've ever came across. Her abuse never stops, every turn sharper than the next. I wanted to scream at the social workers, police, judges, lawyers ANYONE because none of them did anything but harm her further. We can't do anything to change her past but we can hear her story, her pains, and weep for and with the author. Really well explain without being too graphic. Definitely recommend it.

Harrowing and inhuman

This is the most shocking, horrific story I’ve ever heard. Hats off to Karen for being a strong, honest and courageous woman.

This is unbelievable

I almost stopped listening because of how detailed and traumatic this story is. Then, I decided I do need to listen to it as fairytales and happy endings aren’t always the case. That this is someone’s story and life and extends far beyond them. This gross behaviour happens all the time and even still. I commend Shy for sharing her story! I wish I could go back in time and save her and all around her alike. She was dealt the most unfair cards and still comes out with a positive spin of perspective and strength. Support her and her phoenix survivors. ♥️

Absolutely heart wrenching and emotional listen.

Holy! This Story was a very difficult read, but also a must read! I couldn't stop reading! So beautifully articulated, I feel everything she felt as it's being said. One tragedy after another! It is so heartbreaking! I kept holding on saying "just one more chapter!", hoping for justice to be served! It's admirable, the amount of fearlessness, optimism, and survival the author was and is able to have! This read is not for the faint-hearted, especially if you're easily triggered by childhood sexual abuse! Only read if you know you can handle it!

An Amazing, Tragic Story!

This is a very sad true story, so heartbreaking I had to stop listening a few times because the child abuse was so extreme that it was affecting my life. It’s unthinkable that these poor girls could not get children services and the police to help them.
I was very inspired by her strength through all this turmoil and pain in her life.

Heart wrenching
