24 Sep Featured Author Frances Bentley Broken Bones: A Memoir and Workbook for Healing, Resilience, and Personal Growth
Broken Bones: The Riddle of a Baby with Broken Bones is both a powerful memoir and a practical workbook. Written by Frances Bentley, Mentor, Mindset Coach, Somatic Energy Healer, Clinical Breathwork Coach, and survivor of childhood abuse, this book combines a real-life survival story with transformational tools for growth and healing.
A True Story of Survival
In 1964, Frances became the first battered baby to be publicised in the UK. Before she was three months old, every bone in her body had been broken, and she was left with blood on the brain. The court case was dismissed, and she was returned home to her abusers.
Her journey from trauma to resilience is raw, honest, and deeply inspiring.

Unlike most memoirs, Broken Bones is interactive. Each chapter ends with five reflective questions, encouraging readers to:
-
Explore their own story
-
Release limiting beliefs
-
Build resilience and self-awareness

Create healthy boundaries
-
Step into the life they truly want
The book also links to additional resources, including breathwork, EFT tapping, and other somatic healing practices to support readers on their journey.
