Broken

Description

Eight-year-old Samantha Becker has the perfect life—a father and mother who love her and a baby brother on the way. But when a car accident spurs her mother’s labor, she gives birth to a stillborn child and loses her chances of ever conceiving again. But the accident’s devastation does not stop there. Left with a father who hardly speaks to her and a mother who turns to booze, Sam’s world quickly falls apart. But her neighbor June and a timely gift may be the one thing that saves her . . .
