Shattered
Gennessa Pagluica
After losing his mother to suicide, 12-year-old Chase struggles with anger and grief. His grandfather Carl, also mourning his daughter, gently helps Chase confront the pain he’s been avoiding. Through shared sorrow and quiet strength, the two begin to heal—one broken piece at a time. Shattered is a tender story about loss, love, and the journey toward hope.
