How deep is the bond of siblings when one’s career, marriage, life and darkest secret are on the line . . .
The heart-wrenching appearance of six little girls with horrifying injuries leads to a gruesome murder in Cloverdale. With such a turn of related events hitting close to home, Tiffany Brown-Carson’s world comes crashing down jeopardizing her medical career and revealing things better left unsaid.
Against the wishes of the local police, her brother, Tony Brown, begins a painstaking search for the truth. His relentless actions uncover a chilling secret forbidden by his sister and evidence of massive corruption stemming from low-ranking officers and as high up as the chief of police.
While Tony couldn’t protect Tiffany that one fateful summer which splintered more souls than he cared to count, he surely wants to make amends—even if that means trading his life for hers. Unfortunately, fate is not on his side resulting in a ripple of terrifying memories unfolding a tailspin of unimaginable situations which unearth Tiffany’s shocking past igniting a web of broken silence.
Raw but beautiful, this is a story that will hit you right in the soul. Splinters of my Soul explores the agony of a sexual assault survivor with unflinching honesty. Delving deeply into social issues like police corruption, drug addiction, and marital conflict, this is not a story for the faint of heart, but it is a story that very much needs to be told. Though the story itself is a work of fiction, the events happen to real people in America every single day. You will find yourself crying alongside the characters as they struggle to work their way through their various trials (one worse than the next), but with those tears comes catharsis. The writing here is powerful, and the author pays careful attention to detail with character development. 1000% recommended. Nikki Boccelli-Saltsman
