Broken-ess

A single fracture can shatter everything.

When a quiet life is ruptured by a secret no one was meant to know, loyalties crack, old wounds reopen, and the comfortable rules that kept a family whole start to fail. Broken-ness follows ordinary people pushed to the edge-parents who must choose between protection and truth, lovers who discover the cost of deceit, and children who grow up faster than they ever should. As alliances shift and buried betrayals surface, every character is forced to answer the same devastating question: how much brokenness can one heart survive?

Jacqueline Frazier weaves a taunting, emotionally charged tale of grief and resilience, rendered in vivid scenes and unsparing honesty. With crisp prose and unflinching insight into human frailty, Broken-ness is a page-turning moral drama and a compassionate study of how we mend what's been torn apart. This is a story about the price of silence - and the hard, redemptive work of putting the pieces back together.

A raw, unforgettable novel for readers of literary suspense and contemporary family drama.
