At nineteen, Alannah's life changed forever after a night that should have been safe. What followed was silence, confusion, PTSD, and years of legal battles that never brought justice. But this isn't only a story about trauma-it's about resilience, recovery, and the long, imperfect path toward healing.
In
North of Broken
, Alannah shares her raw, unfiltered journey as a sexual assault survivor navigating therapy, family, broken systems, and the slow work of reclaiming her body and voice. Through aerial dance, self-discovery, and eventually love, she reveals how healing is never linear but always possible.
This deeply personal memoir shines a light on the realities survivors face-shame, doubt, and a world that too often refuses to listen. Yet it also offers hope: proof that life after trauma can be rebuilt, and that speaking out matters not only for survivors themselves, but for everyone still searching for their voice.
