Where the Heart Breaks
Emma and David Morrison thought they had everything-a loving marriage, a carefully prepared nursery, and nine months of dreams about their son James. But in a single devastating day, their perfect future shatters when James is born sleeping, leaving them drowning in a grief so profound it threatens to tear them apart.
Emma retreats into a darkness so deep she can barely leave her bed, while David frantically tries to hold their life together, convinced that routine and optimism can somehow fix the unfixable. As weeks turn to months, their different ways of mourning create an unbridgeable chasm between them. Emma feels suffocated by David's determination to "move forward," while David feels helpless watching his wife disappear into her sorrow.
When their marriage reaches the breaking point and David moves out, both must face the terrifying possibility that their love might not be enough to survive their loss.
But sometimes the deepest healing comes from the most profound breaking. Through the patient guidance of a grief counselor and the slow, painful work of learning to share their sorrow instead of carrying it alone, Emma and David begin to discover that their love for James doesn't have to end with his death-and that their marriage can become something deeper and more resilient than either ever imagined.
Set against the moody backdrop of Seattle, "Where the Heart Breaks" is a powerful exploration of love tested by unthinkable loss, offering hope to anyone who has wondered if their heart could ever heal from the deepest wounds life can inflict.
A story about the courage to love again after losing everything that matters most.
