Her mother beat her so severely that she was deaf and nearly blind by her first day in school. Her stepsister thought nothing of pouring boiling water over her, and virtually every day she was raped by her stepfather. At age 10 she was sold to a gang of dockworkers, viciously attacked, and left for dead in a field with a fractured skull. Today, Shy is an internationally respected advocate in the fight for justice for victims of child sexual abuse. Six years ago, her testimony secured the imprisonment of her stepfather and his associates for a catalogue of crimes against children. This success was achieved only after a journey through extensive psychiatric care, prison, and near-suicide. Shy€™s experiences expose the extreme wickedness of which some are capable, but also tell a story of hope, strength, and courage. Review: A must read book that has made me very sad. - I found this story terribly disturbing. I also found I could not stop reading it until I had read the whole book in one session. As a man who finds this behavior appalling, I find myself wanting to apologize to and help anyone who was abused by a man. Anyone who treats a child(or an adult) in the way written in this book should be eliminated immediately - there is absolutely no place on this earth where this behavior is acceptable. I am a 54 year old male and I found myself with tears in my eyes often while reading this horrible story. It made me very upset and very sad. To think that this could happen to such an extent(or at all) is just incredible, and really terrible. I think that everyone should read this book - first, to put into perspective ones own life and second, to remind us that all of our actions have consequences. What I mean is this: I was not abused during my upbringing, and I have never abused anyone either. But what came to my mind is that I have certainly over looked events that I should have investigated or reported. None of these events were anything horrible as Shy went through, but they were events that may have had an adverse effect on someone. And I did nothing. I am sad and ashamed of myself now. I know I am a bit off topic here, this book was about child abuse, but I just wanted to say that reading this book has changed the way I look at events that happen in my every day life. I hope I will never again ignore any sign of a problem. Review: Best and worst book I have ever read! - I really give so much credit for how strong this author is. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to put your life story out there when it was so traumatic. From the first page of this book, I wanted to stop reading because it made me feel so sad for Shy Keenan. I continued to read, because I had to know how it all turned out!! This is a heart wrenching story of a young child who really was neglected by almost every adult that was in her life. This is a story that will open your eyes about what kind of monsters are out there and how society sometimes doesn't open there eyes to the truth! Thank you for sharing your story Shy Keenan. God Bless you! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,086,631 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #792 in Child Abuse (Books) #27,805 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 250 Reviews | ## Images ![Broken: The Most Shocking True Story of Abuse Ever Told - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fhDUEiOkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read book that has made me very sad. *by E***I on September 24, 2011* I found this story terribly disturbing.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be to put your life story out there when it was so traumatic. From the first page of this book, I wanted to stop reading because it made me feel so sad for Shy Keenan. I continued to read, because I had to know how it all turned out!!

This is a story that will open your eyes about what kind of monsters are out there and how society sometimes doesn't open there eyes to the truth! Thank you for sharing your story Shy Keenan. God Bless you! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Broken is heartbreaking *by B***N on July 27, 2010* I knew when I ordered Broken that it was going to be intense and heartbreaking, but as I read it I couldn't believe that this girl was able to live through this. She endures one abuse after another and her only shining moment was a couple of weeks with a circus. The fact that she was able to survive her childhood and write about it is amazing. I definately would recommend this book for the feelings it stirs inside. Not only should it show people how they can survive the worst of their lives and come through it but also that children that are being abused need our help. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/83879658-broken-the-most-shocking-true-story-of-abuse-ever-told](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/83879658-broken-the-most-shocking-true-story-of-abuse-ever-told) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
