Shattered

by Callie Hunter

Life happens when you least expect it. Between working two jobs, taking care of his little sister and struggling to maintain a stable relationship, eighteen year-old Kris Honess hardly gets a break. As the remains of their once happy family fall apart, Kris’ life falls into perfect place. The cost of his own future is the very destruction of his family.

With Willow's well-being as his main priority, and the niggling thoughts in the back of his mind, Kris struggles to accept the direction his life is headed. No matter where Kris focuses his attention, the thin threads that are holding him together threatens to snap: his secret relationship, his overwhelming parental responsibility over his sister and the ghost of his mother that once was.

But Kris' suspicions become reality when Dad drops the final bomb on their excuse of a family. When everything falls apart Kris faces a final choice - will he choose his own life, or will be become a victim of the responsibilities forced upon him?
