Review

This is a stunning and powerful piece of work. So much emotion packed into every page.

Side note, if you are listening to this as an audiobook while at work, you will have to explain more than once to your colleagues why you are bawling at your desk.

There is always something epic about stories that are told over many years. And you always know they will contain a fair bit of heartbreak. But in the best possible way, these stories always heal us and restore our hearts by the end. Broken Pieces is no different.

These three men all have storied pasts that have left a mark on who they are and where their life took them. Decisions weren’t always easy. Mistakes have been made. But over time, through their connections, they figure a way through it all to find some peace and love.

Their story isn’t over, but you will feel hopeful in the end.

Jack DuPont did a really lovely job at narrating these three very different men and their stories.

Synopsis

Can three broken pieces make a whole?

Josiah Evans is the orphan who lost both his parents. He’s sweet, shy, and all heart. He wants nothing more than to be loved.

Mateo Sanchez is the son of a gang leader. He’s seen it all, and never hesitates to do what needs to be done, no matter what it is.

Tristan Croft is the wealthy attorney who clawed his way up from the bottom to rule his own world. He’ll never depend on anyone but himself again.

Three men who couldn’t be more different…and yet, as their lives intersect they find an uncommon balance that calms the storms inside each of them, and ignites fires hotter than they ever thought imaginable.

Told in three parts and spanning over ten years, BROKEN PIECES is a journey of healing for three fragmented souls, finding love in the unlikeliest of places—with each other.
