EBOOK
About
Five years ago, Clara Evans stopped answering the phone.
After escaping her abusive husband, Clara found safety in Elias, the only man who ever made her feel seen. Then a fight at her mother's dinner table sent them down separate roads, and a drunk driver made sure he never came home. Clara disappeared into her grief, cutting off the family who had once depended on her.
Now, with a paintbrush in her hand and her therapist's voice in her head, Clara returns to the house where she was raised. She finds a brother who has become the angry guardian of every locked door, a sister who draws empty landscapes and refuses to forgive her, and a mother who has spent thirty years keeping a monster's house exactly as he left it.
As long-buried truths surface, from a cellar door and a hidden set of notebooks to a letter Clara has never had the courage to open, the family must decide whether they can finally talk about what happened, or whether some things are too broken to repair.
Still Shattered is a story about the ghosts we inherit, the family we choose to fight for, and the courage it takes to turn on every light in a house that was built to keep us in the dark.
Perfect for readers of contemporary family drama and emotional women's fiction.
