AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sometimes the whole truth is the death of everything.

'Caroline Breure was on holiday in Spain with her boyfriend when her skull was crushed by a speeding police car.

'A year later, following dark months in a coma and painful rehabilitation, Caroline returned to her beachside apartment in Sydney, only to find 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.

'This is the true story of how she solved her own mystery and reclaimed her life.

'An innovative work of non-fiction written by New York Times bestselling author Bradley Trevor Greive, Broken Girl is a powerful and poetic work of staggering loss and betrayal, fierce beauty, dark humour, love and rage.

'Caroline's struggle to unlock the truth is an unforgettable, inspiring story of survival and self-belief, and a defiant celebration of imperfection.' (Publication summary)
