Following on the success of her first book, Broken For You, Stephanie Kallos has written another great story, full of human pathos and engaging characters. The story focuses on the Jones family, a small-town doctor, his wife and their three children.
The orderliness of their lives is torn apart by the wife's illness. Parallel to the whirlwind of emotions that ensues as illness rearranges their daily routines, are the violent tornados that sweep through the small town. Time passes, the children grow up and we find ourselves looking at how their childhood traumas have shaped their adult lives. When another trauma surrounding their father brings the adult children back together, they have an opportunity to put the past into a new context and can finally try to break free from their pasts.
