Broken Promises is the story of Shari Lynn and her all-too short life. When her heart stopped in the womb due to a physician's error, it caused serious, lifelong medical issues. During her delivery her father felt that something was wrong but ignored that feeling. At the time he felt God was telling him to speak up, but he did not step up.
In the NICU, he heard a clear voice telling him that she would be okay, and he made that promise to her every day as he put her to bed. When she turned three, he became a single father and at the age of ten had to make the heartbreaking decision to withdraw care and let her pass. The book is a letter to her explaining what happened, his struggle with God over the events, what he feels was an unforgivable mistake by not speaking out during her birth, and his attempts to heal afterwards.

Vannya - The Wild Grace
She is 15 year girl who seemed too delicate for the heavy world waiting for her. Cute in her mannerisms, quiet in her presence-she kept her thoughts tucked away like secrets in a locked diary. Around strangers, she was polite and reserved, never letting her words spill more than necessary. But with her mother, she would shrink back into a childish warmth, clinging to her laughter and innocence as if it were the last thread of safety she knew. Now, everything was about to change. Her mother had remarried, and a new home awaited her-a house filled with six elder brothers, a stepfather she barely knew, an uncle and aunt, and the watchful eyes of grandparents. It was a family that seemed too large, too overwhelming, for someone who feared her own emotions. Would she let her walls down in this unfamiliar household? Would she accept them as her own, or would she retreat further into silence, lost between childish dependence and the burden of growing up? No one could tell-not even she. Only time would reveal whether her fragile heart could find belonging in the place that was about to become her world.
