Life Inside a Broken Egg

Our heroine, Angela weaves a tale of tragedy and of triumph by piecing together her fragmented memories. We are taken on a journey that spans two generations, beginning with the violent life of her father and ending with the seedlings of a new generation. All is bared as the reader is brought into this dark world where tragedy knows no bounds, where rape is swept under the rug and lives are torn apart by the mere touch of a hand.

It is a tale of love and deception and the amazing bond that is shared between sisters; Angela and Faith. It is this bond that aids in their joint survival through years of pain and torture at the hands of those who claim to love them. This is not the typical tale of abuse. It is not a story of sympathy or of pity. It is one of strength and of decisions that no child should ever have to make and it is told in a way which is all encompassing and enveloping. It is the final glimpse within the tortured mind of the abused and the abuser as each becomes the other.

About the Author

J. Byrne was born in Newfoundland, Canada but now currently resides in Texas with her husband, son and granddaughter. She has a Degree in Adult Education and two other degrees in ASL/English Interpeting. She has been writing since she was a young girl but this is her first full length work of fiction. Whilst the story is fiction, she was inspired by stories she had gathered over the years from young girls who had experienced similar events. She hopes that this work will bring about awareness of the cycle of abuse and also let young girls know that they are not alone. This book is dedicated to her family as they have always been there for her, no matter what and a special dedication to her sister for always loving her,even through the worst of times.
