Cindi Broaddus

Review; A Random Act by Cindi Broaddus.

This is a heart warming story about a woman’s survival to live. Cindi’s horrible ordeal and her journey back to life took tremendous strength to survive. She was seriously injured by the attack of toxic violence and for a time it was unknown if she would survive. Without any warning, a gallon jug filled with sulfuric acid came crashing through her windshield while driving beneath an underpass on the highway. Cindi was splattered with glass and drenched with sulfuric acid which caused severe burns all over her body.

This is a very moving story about how she went through years of recuperation and an endless number of skin grafts which were very painful. I felt through her character she had shown great strength and inspiration to all the people around her because she had so much courage and determination during her recovery. I believe being Dr. Phil’s sister-in-law gave her the comfort and attitude she needed to move on with her life.

Like I said the story was inspirational but I felt the story was repetitive a lot about how brave she was. For a short story it was every bit about her. What about Jim Maxwell? He was the driver of the car and he also was burned and a victim but there was not much said about him or his recovery. I guess he’ll have to write his own book….Plus, the family member were also brave and sacrificed a lot through the years of their mother’s recovery.

I’m happy and moved by Cindi’s story and hope life brings her the happiness she deserves. Yet, others should have got some admiration too….

Cindi Broaddus, a hard-working single mom was on her way to the airport for a well-deserved vacation in 2001, when acid was thrown from an overpass. Cindi suffered third degree burns over nearly 70% of her body and her boyfriend, Jim was also burned.
Cindi spent 18 days in the hospital and had countless surgeries to correct the random act of violence she endured.
Through it all Cindi chose to forgive and not become a victim or become bitter. She urged others to perform a random act of kindness in her name.
A very inspirational, uplifting read.… (més)
