Product Description
Product Description
Shy Keenan was not meant to survive her childhood. 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.
About the Author
Shy Keenan founded Phoenix Survivors, an organization that campaigns for justice on behalf of victims of sexual abuse and works to rescue children at risk.

This review is from: Broken (Paperback)
I couldn't put this book down and finished it within a few days. The strength of the author's spirit, the survivor of the child abuse, is amazing and inspiring.

This review is from: Broken (Paperback)
Shy has shared such an intimate story of her life. Thank you for having the courage (and I dont know how) to never give up hope in seeking justice. Sky describes in detail the horrific tradegy of her childhood and inexcusable abuse by not only her own family but by system mandated to protect her. I read the book from start to finish and although a very difficult read, I will be keeping a closer eye and ear on the children I work with.
