Fractured

To avoid losing his wife and son, the brilliant but irascible Dr. Martin Ellingham had been forced to face the demons bequeathed him by a cold, loveless, and often abusive upbringing.

Through his work with his therapist, Barrett Newell, Martin now accepts that his parents' complete inability to feel any sort of affection for him was not due to some genetic anomaly which had rendered him inherently unlovable, but rather due to their own inability to feel love for other human beings. However, learning to accept that he was, indeed, deserving of being loved would prove more difficult.

And with the enlightenment that came with the disinterment of buried memories from his childhood, came disturbing questions. Questions which will haunt him as he faces the desperate days ahead.
