“More Beautiful For Having Been Broken” is a story about three broken women whose lives intersect at a lakeside community and who are forever changed through their shared love of an incredibly special young boy with special needs. A broken FBI agent, suspended from her job and struggling with the loss of her mother, travels to the small mountain town she used to visit as a child.

Though she is hurting, she begins to see through his eyes as the puzzle pieces fall into place.
