Synopsis"For many years after that night, my memories of what happened after he held the blade to my throat and threatened my life were fragmented . . . difficult to piece together. It was too extreme, too violent for me to understand." Living in a state of shock and self-loathing, it took her years of struggle to confront the buried memories of that first attack and begin to undo the damage it wrought, as men continued to take advantage of her fragility in the worst possible way. Yet, after growing up with a burden no teenager should ever have to shoulder, she found the heart to carry out the best revenge plan of all: leading a fulfilling and happy life. But the road to piecing her life back together was long and painful. For Madeleine, forgiveness was the key. True forgiveness takes genuine effort. It takes a real desire to understand those who have done us so much harm. It is the ultimate act of courage. In Unbroken , Madeleine tells her deeply moving and empowering story, as she discovers that life is about how a person chooses to recover from adversity., For many years after that night, my memories of what happened after he held the blade to my throat and threatened my life were fragmented...difficult to piece together.

It takes a real desire to understand those who have done us so much harm. It is the ultimate act of courage. In Unbroken, Madeleine tells her deeply moving and empowering story, as she discovers that life is about how a person chooses to recover from adversity. We are not defined by what knocks us down - we are defined by how we get back up., At the age of thirteen Madeleine Black faced more physical and emotional trauma than most ordinary people do in a lifetime... Violently gang raped and abused, Madeleine became haunted by these horrendous events and for years was unable to overcome the psychological demons which filled her with extreme anxiety and self-loathing. During this terrible period of her life, Madeleine was time and again made the victim, as she was taken advantage of in her fragile state. But Madeleine refused to let this terrible abuse define her life, instead she made a decision to move forward and make her life her own again through committing to the most tremendous act of courage; forgiveness. By choosing to forgive those who committed wrongs against her, Madeleine began to slowly, piece by piece, rebuild her life. This is a story of gut-wrenching adversity, overcome through sheer strength and determination.
