Summary

Violently gang-raped when she was 13 years old, and raped three more times before the age of 18, Madeleine has experienced more trauma in her life than most ever will.

Living in a state of shock and self-loathing, it took her years of struggle to confront the buried memories of that first attack and begin to undo the damage it wrought, as men continued to take advantage of her fragility in the worst possible way. Yet, after growing up with a burden no teenager should ever have to shoulder, she found the heart to carry out the best revenge plan of all: leading a fulfilling and happy life.

But the road to piecing her life back together was long and painful. For Madeleine, forgiveness was the key. True forgiveness takes genuine effort. It takes a real desire to understand those who have done us so much harm. It is the ultimate act of courage. In Unbroken, Madeleine tells her deeply moving and empowering story, as she discovers that life is about how a person chooses to recover from adversity.

I so wanted to reach into the story and take this young girl into my arms. I had so many emotional reactions like this as I read, but mostly I just want to say what an incredible lady you are Madeleine.

This book is an intense, difficult listen that is no less necessary, particularly in a society and era that is marred by rampant gender-based violence. The strength and resilience of this woman, who has fought and been through so much, is evident in the very fact of her writing this book (and narrating it!) in the frank, candid way of someone who is finally unafraid to expose the truth. The horror of rape and pain of trauma is balanced with hope as the author describes a journey marked by strength courage, love, support, and ultimately deep fulfilment. A must read for anyone and everyone, really.

Powerful, heartbreaking and very, very brave

A good read. Such courage after such traumatic experiences. Thank you for sharing.
Performance I gave less stars because the reader was very robotic and off putting however I continued to listen because it was well written.

Good read
