Unbroken

One Woman's Journey to Rebuild a Life Shattered by Violence: A True Story of Survival and Hope

By: Madeleine Black

Narrated by: Madeleine Black, Henrietta Meire

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.

Open and candid account of SA

An important topic that needs more awareness. I’ve been able to relate with some of this book and many other women will as well. This really had me seeing some of my experiences differently.

Madeleine’s experience is all too common, her healing isn’t as common. It may be difficult to read, but it gets better! She takes you through the life-long healing process, the lasting effects of SA.
Thank you Madeleine for being so vulnerable, open & candid.
