Carlyle on why she wrote the book and what the message is to THE BROKEN DESTINY

I always had a need to express myself through various things, first sports and drama. But always found my heart and mind in bliss when writing. Been writing since the age of twelve. The Broken Destiny is my first completed book that came at a time in my life when I needed release. That is what writing is for me. Understanding the world , making sense of it all. Leaning about me and growing. This is a journey into my psyche I had always wanted to reveal to myself and others.

Message:

Everything that is broken can be fixed. This book is about a girl who goes through the worst mental and physical challenges to fulfill her destiny. I want my readers to identify with and take something from the book. That our differences make us phenomenal. That you are the creator of your journey and for your dreams to come true you need to believe in your dream but most importantly believe in yourself "dont allow fear to cripple your abilities, let love give you wings"
