The Broken Pane

The memories I had built exploded. As the debris landed, my mind grasped at the facts. The Broken Pane is about loss and family, when families are broken. Finding yourself in the pieces of memory. About a young woman and her search for answers. In her early twenties, Tam rushes to her childhood flat only to be confronted by a tragic discovery. Anchored by the weight of family lore, she struggles to come to terms with her loss. As her life spirals, she sets off to find the one person who may hold the answers: her mother. Tam's travels take her far from a home which was more broken than she had ever realised. Walking the line between reliable memory and unreliable narrator, Charlie Roy's debut novel invites you to consider whether you are shaped by your past ― or if you shape your past yourself?

Two friends who are searching for love through heartache and pain. In the end they find out they are connected through more than just friendship. This book contains sexually explicit situations.

A wayward rock and a broken glass place a young entrepreneur in the presence of the oddest bird at the high-end retirement community on Thanksgiving morning. When David Gull receives a call that one of his lawn crew has slung a rock and broken a window at Winding Acres Retirement Community, he purposes to have it replaced as soon as possible. Problem is, it's the afternoon before Thanksgiving, and his usual glass repairman can't get to it until after the holiday weekend. He can, however, prepare the glass so David can replace it himself on the following morning. When David shows up at Winding Acres when the doors open on Thanksgiving morning, the staff is impressed with the importance the twenty-two-year-old business owner places on customer service. They warn him that the resident whose window his guy broke, Herschel Perdue, is... different. However, Perdue takes an instant liking to David Gull as they share a cup of coffee before David repairs Perdue's window. When a small part of his life story doesn't turn off his new friend, he continues telling it as David replaces his window. Before either of them realizes it, Perdue has shared his mother's death, his father's suicide, his life as a foster child, his experience living in a treehouse, and his joys and travails as an adult.
