Summary

Sadie Grant is no stranger to battles and struggles, having been born with a disfiguring disability. Her childhood is wrought with alienation, a severe hatred for herself and a crushing loneliness. A small act of kindness causes her to pivot, and, for the first time in her young life, Sadie witnesses the joy of the one thing she’s only ever dreamed of — having a friend. Her blissful bubble is then broken when, in 1914, the government summons all able-bodied boys and men to fight in a battle that will change the course of history. ‘Broken’ is a tale of the struggles of finding belonging a world that is hostile, wrought with unfathomable grief, and unkind to those who have no place within it.

A Human Made This!

My writing contains em dashes because that’s how I personally developed my grammatic skills. Every novel was lovingly and painstakingly created by me — a human. I care deeply about my work and the quality that I publish, and as such, hours and hours go into making every one of them. Because I care so much about my craft, there is absolutely no AI used. There are also no gen-AI images on any of my book covers, and the original creators were appropriately supported. You’ll find credits to their images within the paid versions of these novels linked on my profile page. If you want to check them out, please do so. :)

Hi there, Bennet! Thanks so much for your kind words. They mean a lot to me, as I put a lot of time and effort into all that I do. I'm glad that it resonated with you. I'll keep your offer in mind, but as of right now, I'm content with leaving my works as they are. I might change my mind in the future, though, so if you're okay with it, please keep your communication channels open! I've never had the opportunity to have them morphed into something else before, so the idea may grow on me. I must also thank you for opting to follow me, and I hope that you're equally as impressed with my other novels if you choose to read those as well. Thanks so much, Bennet. Erica Noble. 😊
