A comatose man is discovered on the side of the highway late at night, battered, broken, and bruised. Who is he? How did he get there? Was he the victim of a heinous crime? But there's more to Broken than just the fate of a nearly dead man, or the crime's investigation. Everyone touched by the crime discovers something about his or her own life, something that will impact each so intensely that they will never be the same. The college student who stumbles upon the body. The trucker who comes to his aid. The young surgeon who saves his life. The nurses who help him to heal from the accident.
But what brought the victim to that point on the highway is the heart of Broken, as well as what happens to him as a result. He eventually recovers only to discover that the passions that once drove him are gone, irrevocably stolen from him by the man who almost took his life. As he searches for why bad things happen to good people, will he see the good in the tragedy, or will it destroy not only his devastated hopes and dreams, but his desire to find new ones, options for his future that aren't rendered impossible by his irreversible injuries.
And what about the fate of the man who almost killed him? Will the victim and his family find forgiveness in their hearts for the criminal? Will he be brought to justice? And what does true justice entail?
Broken is a legal thriller, but it's also a tale of hope and forgiveness, one that just might impact you as dramatically as the characters in the story.
