This is what Joshua Robertson has said about "Broken"
[Broken] is worthy of a reward. [Chrysler] has an uncanny ability to capture what most people have no concept of understanding. This is the type of literature that social workers and psychologists are forced to read during their internships to give them some understanding of what atrocities they will face while working in the field. I hope words spreads quickly of [her] talent.
So...so very well done.

Review by Stanislava D. Kohut
Poignant and brutally honest, Broken grasped me and didn't let me go from the very first page.
To read someone's life story is usually a very personal and intimate affair. With Broken, I experienced everything through Angela's gripping and at times heart wrenching story telling. She doesn't let any stone of her past unturned.
Angela doesn't just tell you what hell she went through, she make you see it and feel it with every word delivered straight to your soul.
To write a memoir is not easy. Some stories feel too cleaned up, bleached and starched for the audience - hiding the truth behind a white washed facade. Another times the story is missing key plot lines, delivered haphazardly without a rhyme or a reason.
Not with Broken. Every chapter, every sentence, every word is perfectly placed, delivering a strong punch to your gut and to your heart - in the best way possible.
Angela is a master story teller, not swayed to make her story anything but what it is - a picture painted with blood, sweat, tears and honesty.
Angela is a Tour de Force, making her Broken one of the best, the saddest and most significant reads that I had the privilege to experience as a reader.

Mia Darien said this about "Broken"
"I found the prose to be hypnotic. The flow of this story's narrative achieved an almost mesmerizing effect. I kept thinking about something my mother once said about watching Judy Garland sing on stage: that she was like a raw nerve, and that's what the story felt like. That each word was a raw nerve. Like a bleeding soul crying out 'LISTEN' and so how can you not? It made for a very powerful experience."
