The Beauty of Broken Things

By Lisa X Lopez

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a single picture can be worth a life. On the fog-cloaked banks of the East River, Kelso snaps a photo of a lone girl and her three-legged dog, never imagining the incredible chain of events that he'll set in motion. What follows is a dance of cagey mistrust and, ultimately, a life-altering friendship.

Fleeing from a traumatic and mysterious past, Tessa is surviving on the streets of New York City, accompanied by her faithful but crippled pet dog, Pickles. Driven by intense curiosity and a desire for somewhere to belong, she rises above exploitation, hunger, and a harsh life on the winter streets.

These three lives, strangely and remarkably intertwined, will find the healing power of unexpected friendship and learn that there is beauty to be found in broken things.
