Broken is a harrowing, unflinching memoir by Ruth Aron Kyle-a mother who fought tooth and nail to protect her young sons from horrific sexual abuse, only to be betrayed by the very institutions meant to safeguard them. Across nearly two decades of courtrooms, caseworkers, and custody nightmares, Ruth exposes the catastrophic failures of the U.S. child welfare and family court systems. Through personal letters, searing recollections, and cited research, Broken not only chronicles one family's trauma but also becomes a rallying cry for systemic change. With brutal honesty and unwavering love for her sons, Ruth bears witness to the strength of survivors and the power of a mother's voice. This book is both a deeply personal testimony and a resource for others facing similar battles-offering raw insight, support, and a demand for justice that can no longer be ignored.
