Spirit Unbroken: Abby’s story by Jeanne McElvaney Child

Sexual abuse is a very serious and ongoing issue in society. In March 2011 it was reported that Child sexual abuse has been reported up to 80,000 times a year, but the number of unreported instances is far greater. The reason being is that most people not involved don’t want the shame and ridicule so they turn a blind eye and tell the child “what happens within these walls stays within these walls”. Spirit Unbroken is a riveting tale of one child’s ability to survive despite the cruel and sometimes horrific events she was subjected to.

This was the my first novel by Jeanne McElvaney, Spirit Unbroken captures you from the first page and takes you on Abby’s emotional journey from childhood through her adult years. I look forward to reading more form this author and I give this 5 stars. I recommended this to all readers.
