Amazon Review: A cross between William Faulkner and Harper Lee... Southern Gothic at its best... When Laura's husband Henry proposed forty years ago, she'd known she wasn't his first choice. However, when he'd finished law school and returned to Abington, he seemed sincere in moving forward together as a couple. Fast forward: Sixty-three-year-old Laura Whelchel never imagined a life without her husband. But when he succumbed to cancer, a life without him was precisely what she got. Faced with picking up the pieces, Laura soon discovered long-hidden secrets her husband kept that threatened her and her family's future. Had her mother been right? Had Henry fathered a child the summer after he finished law school? When her three daughters came home the weekend of the funeral, Julia brought a man who looked a lot like a younger version of her husband. The resemblance intrigued Laura, but she also refused to imagine the worst. However, her attorney's mention of the friends' role in a drug cartel was perhaps the link to her deceased husband's past. Unable to confirm the secrets, Laura remained silent until the girls unexpectedly showed up for a sentimental last weekend on the family farm with their beloved horses. Readers should brace themselves because the people in this fictitious town of Abington are about to embark on a twenty-four-hour roller coaster ride that will change the lens through which they view the world. Fractured - A Story of Broken Ties is a southern literary suspense novel. It's a story of betrayal, love, and acceptance.
