Penelope grew up in a wealthy family, which brought certain expectations. Expectations of marrying someone her parents chose. She accepts the proposal of a man 20 years older to ensure the future of her family's legacy, against her own wishes.
She feels defeated until she falls in love. For love, she's ready to leave everything behind and build a life she chooses.
Then disaster strikes. Her city, Halifax is shaken by an explosion which leaves the city devastated, and over 9 thousand injured or dead. From that moment on, her life is never the same. It becomes fractured, just like her city.
Fractured City is about love, loss, and rebuilding your life from the ashes. It's a story of resilience, determination and the impact it can have for generations.
The Halifax Explosion is a real event , and this story does weave real events and situations into it, however it's essentially a work of fiction.
