Broken: The Most Shocking Childhood Story Ever Told. An Inspirational Author Who Survived It.

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.
