Nino, her husband of twenty-five years, got in the way and was shot. The man then attacked and raped Debra, placed her in the trunk of his car, and drove away. Kept hog-tied in her abductor's house, Debra finally learned of her husband's murder from a newscast on a radio that the man blared to muffle her screams while he was out. After five excruciating days, Debra's mounting rage at her captor -- and the wrenching thought of her children burying their father alone -- gave her the courage and strength she desperately needed. She loosened her ties, groped her way to the phone...and dialed 911. <P> <I>Shattered</I> is an indelible portrait of hope, determination, and the agonizing journey back to life. Struggling to heal from her horrendous ordeal and the devastating loss of her husband, Debra also had to endure an agonizing court trial, the raw grief of her children, and her own crippling fear. But through her work in hospice care and as an advocate for victims of violence and trauma, she has slowly discovered the measure of her own strength. A compelling survival story -- tragic and ultimately heroic -- Shattered represents one woman's attempts to make sense of a senseless crime. 407863 2003 Shattered: Reclaiming a Life Torn Apart by Violence total:25|5:7|4:10|3:6|2:1|1:1| 25 96 36 8 4 2 false false Fri Nov 26 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Wed May 27 10:13:30 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 19:09:36 -0700 2009 almost twice more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jul 11 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Oct 25 11:32:44 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 11:35:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu May 21 11:12:30 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 11:15:32 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 21:17:23 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 04:10:44 -0700 2009 once more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Feb 25 14:16:02 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 14:25:26 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Apr 18 16:22:32 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 16:25:38 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Wed Sep 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 07:45:11 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 04:51:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jun 27 06:30:57 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 06:31:54 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 10:42:24 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 10:42:24 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 14 14:14:41 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 14:14:41 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Aug 26 15:04:09 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 15:04:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 17:43:17 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 17:43:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jul 29 09:37:51 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 17:29:57 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 09:37:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 06:38:50 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 06:38:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 17:29:37 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 17:29:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 19:21:07 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 19:21:07 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 13 03:33:13 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 03:33:13 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 02 15:04:37 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 15:04:37 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 29 15:02:32 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 15:02:32 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jan 02 11:13:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 11:13:00 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=418716
