the journey of a broken child is my debut memoir that will take you on a transformational journey like no other. Through my own story and that of my brother, I will show you how the paralyzing effects of toxic shame impacted both of us in vastly different ways. I spent the first half of my life wanting to die. Maury spent most of his adult life knowing that he was dying but keeping it a secret. Ultimately, we were both able to transform our deepest psychological wounds into our greatest source of strength. With compassion, I learned to trust my own life. With compassion, Maury transcended his own death. We never really were broken after all.
It is my hope that this book is a source of inspiration to the millions of people who live with toxic shame every minute of their lives. May you realize how truly beautiful you are.
