In Abby Carter’s everyday world, appearance is not reality. There are 'black holes' in her All-American, small-town family. In these moments of no boundaries, Abby’s body is the pawn and each violation is stored in a place that cannot be recalled.Not knowing the secrets held in the deep corners of her mind, Abby creates normal out of chaos. She doesn’t understand what is driving her choices, but she will take you to the joy and nostalgia of childhood in the 1950’s. She will grab your heart and turn yourworld upside down as you witness innocence celebrated and violated.'Spirit Unbroken' honors the wonder and beauty of resilient personal spirit.'Thrust from lascivious, cold power back into childhood, Abby warmed her innocence by being a good girl. She had a smile for everyone. She was helpful, kind, and responsible though she was never seeking approval. Her quest was reconciliation with her self. Abby was shaping her place in the world, not knowing what drove her choices.''Powerful and unsettling, this story held me captive.' LM
