Broken Girl
Broken Girl | Bradley Trevor Greive, Caroline Laner Breure
8 posts | 1 reading
A jagged and luminous survivor's account and a de?ant celebration of imperfection, Broken Girl is a powerful and poetic work of staggering loss and betrayal, love, and rage. Caroline Laner Breure was on holiday in Spain with her boyfriend when her skull was crushed. A year later, following starless months in a coma and painful rehabilitation, Caroline returned to her beachside apartment in Sydney, only to ?nd that her home was not her home, her lover was not her lover, and her friends were not her friends. Everyone and everything she'd loved had vanished. Physically broken and no longer able to trust her own mind, she painstakingly searched for clues to explain the cruel disparity between her past and present. Broken Girl is the true story of how Caroline solved her own mystery, reclaimed her life, and came face-to-face with the reality that sometimes the whole truth is the death of everything.

I wished real life, adult life, was all about having fun together.
Less about having more, doing more, being more.

There‘s a lot to be said for embracing your innate sense of joy and wonder.
And having faith in other people to do the same.

It is WILD to see this element of living with a disability articulated in a book!!

I didn‘t have a partner or ex do it, but having your money in the hands of any family or someone you have a close personal relationship with as a person with a disability can get real messy, real fast!!

Trauma wounds and stains in different ways.
Like grief, it doesn‘t always make sense how, where, and when it hits home.

Iron rusts. Gold melts. Diamonds chip and fracture. Strength and beauty are constantly tested in this life.
For love, even true love, every day is a crucible.

Everyone has something interesting to share if you give them a chance to speak.
