FRACTURED

From the outside looking in, Elizabeth had the perfect life. She had a family who loved her, numerous friends, and a successful career. No one knew the hurt, pain, and angst she hid inside, struggling to keep herself small so those around her would still like her. It all came to a head on October 23, 2007, when her parents received a call that she was lying lifeless in the ICU in a hospital in Utah -- "You better get out here, your daughter is not going to make it." Fractured: My Journey Back from Death and the Lessons I've Learned Along the Way is the memoir of Elizabeth's recovery, spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is about her deliberate decision to begin the hard work of finding and using her voice and the struggle to break out of the box that society tried to keep her in. This is the story of what happens when one woman stared death in the face and decided to make a conscious choice not to go back to sleep, but to wake up and live the life she knew she was meant to live.

“It’s been 10 years since I woke up in a hospital bed with a fractured neck, arm, shoulder, and other injuries. At that moment, overwhelmed with confusion and pain, I had no idea the journey to heal my body would lead to a complete transformation of my life. Fractured is about more than the events surrounding a near-death experience. It’s about realizing how a broken mind and a broken heart can be healed just like broken bones. It’s about finding your voice after a lifetime of silence, and about using that voice to change your world. It’s about realizing that life isn’t about what you have; It's about who you are. It's about learning to embrace fear instead of letting it paralyze you. By sharing the events in Fractured, I want to show that living an authentic life is the key to self-acceptance and true happiness. Life is just oh so beautiful when you love yourself" - Elizabeth Antonucci

-Readers Favorite Review 5 stars

Elizabeth Antonucci’s life seems equally filled with tragedy and victories. For every horrific experience she has had, she has been able to triumph. The basis for her book, the accident which took her friend David’s life and so greatly altered her own, draws the reader in during the first chapter. Antonucci has done a wonderful job of engaging the reader in a conversational style of writing and is straightforward with her descriptions of the accident, her recovery, and the therapy that followed.

-Literary Titan Review

Fractured is no ordinary self-help book. Speaking open-heartedly from personal experience, Elizabeth draws on the profound lessons she learned after a crisis to help us turn pain into progress, doubt into faith, and struggle into self-love. Her journey to discover her authentic voice and use it wisely and boldly is an empowering example for us all to break free from self-imposed limitations and confining criticisms, and honor the boundless power we each hold in our hearts.

-Dr. Carmen Harra

“Fractured is positive proof of the power of love, forgiveness, and gratitude to create happiness and beauty in one’s life. The physical and inner journey stories told in Fractured prove it’s never too late to heal body and soul. You can’t fully understand the wonderful Navajo blessing Walk in Beauty until you read this book"
