About the Ebook
Fourteen-year old Lailie had been happy once. But that was before she did something she thinks was terrible, something so terrible that she doesn't believe she'll be able to survive it. It takes an encounter with the ghost of a young child to show Lailie that she did nothing wrong, that she has, in fact, been the victim of a soul-shattering crime. If she can only come to believe this, if she can learn to love, forgive, and cherish herself, she can find the happiness she thought was lost forever. But will she be able to do this?
In "The Broken Girl," the author tries to illustrate how victims of bullying and other forms of abuse often turn their anger and pain inwards, leading to feelings of shame, guilt, hopelessness, and self-loathing. Intended for teenaged victims of abuse, the book aims to provide them with the compassion, empathy, and advice needed for self-forgiveness and recovery. “The Broken Girl” combines Lailie's heartbreaking story with an informative self-help section to provide teens (and the people who care about them) with the information, tools, and resources necessary to reach out for assistance, escape from any abusive situations, abandon feelings of loneliness, shame, self-deprecation, and despair, overcome body-image problems, self-destructive behaviors, and suicidal tendencies and, eventually, begin to heal.
Jennifer Quaggin is a senior executive who has dedicated her life to helping the victims of all forms of abuse. Considered an expert on the subject, she has discussed ways in which children and adults can overcome the traumatic consequences of abuse on numerous radio and television programs.
A survivor herself, she wrote "The Broken Girl" for all people who have ever been crushed by abuse, who feel so shattered and alone they don't feel that life is worth living. She hopes that Lailie's story will help them to heal and to feel happy once more.
