Discover the urgent and eye-opening book *Broken: Children, Parents, and Family Courts.* This compelling trade paperback, published by Black Inc in 2021, unveils the deeply flawed family law system in Australia that affects countless lives. With 320 pages filled with impactful narratives, authors Camilla Nelson and Catharine Lumby shine a spotlight on how the family courts often fail to protect vulnerable children from dangerous parents.

It highlights the urgent need for reform in family courts to prevent further victimization of those they are meant to protect.
