Based on true events, this is a riveting journey through a young woman’s traumatic encounter with sexual violence during a college spring break trip - and an aftermath of remarkable coincidences that spiral out of control for the next three decades. Elizabeth, a small-town southern girl, desperately tries to move on and leave the harrowing past behind. However, her aggressors, four devious well-connected Ivy Leaguers in positions of international power and influence, keep reappearing in her life - causing the danger to escalate into adulthood. Past and present merge. God intervenes. Worlds collide, culminating in a flood of vivid memories and an unexpected ending to Elizabeth’s decades-long nightmare.
“Unconventional and Provocative...At heart, Nicole Saint-Clair’s unique Broken Sand Dollar is the story of a resilient woman’s survival and self-acceptance, with a touch of spiritual enlightenment.”
- Jeannine Chartier Hanscom - Foreward Clarion National Review, 2016
“Nicole Saint-Clair effectively moves the story from the present to the past throughout the novel to give readers a true sense of the lasting effects of its events on its characters...gripping.”
- Kirkus Review, 2016
“Amazing!” * “Five Stars!” * “Spell Binding” * “Couldn’t Put It Down!” * “Fascinating!”

“I must say, you’ve opened my eyes to something that I absolutely have no knowledge of. And for that, I thank you. I have learned a bit more about rape culture and all its deep, dark secrets.”
