Broken - Paperback

by Tiffini Johnson (Author)

My name is Taya. I'm fifteen. If you're reading this, it means you found me. I put down towels to help the mess. If I could do this so no one would know what happened, I would. But Mom needs to know I haven't run away; she needs to know what's happened. Staying alive just takes too much courage. You have to get up hoping for a good day when, in your heart of hearts, you know it's going to be a day like all the rest. I'm just not that brave. Moving around, being bullied in the daytime and messed with at night, it just hurts too much. And with Dad coming home, this is the only way for me to be free now. I hope you'll understand, I hope you'll forgive me.

Author Biography

Once upon a time a blonde haired, blue eyed girl was born in Memphis, TN. She started writing when she was six and never stopped! By the time she graduated high school, she had written over 100 books, the longest of which was over 2000 handwritten pages long! Today, Tiffini has grown up but still believes in the power of stories and continues to write them from her home in Nashville, TN. Tiffini is a mother to two little girls, Breathe and Alight, and spends her days with them playing pretend and believing in a world in which happily-ever-after is more than make believe. She's an insomniac who stays awake into the wee hours of the night via the help of many Dr. Peppers. She's a teacher and an advocate for abused and neglected children: she travels to speak to school and churches and youth groups about her journey through abuse and how God saw her through. Best of all, she is living happily ever after!
