The Broken Things (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244396249)

A dog on the side of the road. A letter hidden for three years. A secret that connects them all.

Joan Weaver restores broken furniture in a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She lives alone. She likes it that way. After twenty years of walls, solitude feels like safety.

Then she stops for a dog standing on a mountain highway-and everything unravels.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback has a past. He belonged to a man named Roy Dutton, who died when a car struck him on a dark road three years ago. Roy's widow has been hiding something ever since: a letter that reveals the accident wasn't what everyone believed.

The truth will either destroy them-or set them free.

As Joan uncovers the connections between Roy's widow, the woman who hit him, and her own forgotten childhood, she finds herself at the center of a web of grief, guilt, and long-buried secrets.

And she discovers that healing doesn't come from fixing what's broken.

Sometimes it comes from finally letting yourself break.

The Broken Things is literary fiction about four women, one unforgettable dog, and the redemption that comes when we stop running from the past.

Perfect for fans of The Midnight Library, Lessons in Chemistry, and A Man Called Ove.
