The only girl in a family of seven brothers, Patricia Grace found
her childhood violently stripped away in the wake of her father's
death. Her brothers became tormentors, using their little sister as
an outlet for rage and lust. Her mother, reeling with grief and
fighting to raise eight children on her own, turned a blind eye to
the abuse. Patricia learned to play the loving sister, desperate to
maintain the illusion of a happy family even as shame grew like a
cancer inside her. Now, after decades of silence, Patricia is
telling her truth. Shattered is the astonishing story of a girl
coming of age in a house of secrets, and her battle as an adult to
make peace with the past. Patricia relays her struggles with
weight, depression, and self-esteem with searing honesty and rich
emotional depth. Her unsparing prose paints an intimate portrait of
courage and hope in the bleakest of circumstances. More than a
memoir, Shattered is a testament to the healing power of
truth-telling and the resilience of the human spirit.
