Shattered Part 2: The Story of John

by D.D. Jewell

One phone call is all it took to derail the course of what appeared to be the happiest time in John Anderson’s life. A stellar investment banker who recently proposed to the woman of his dreams, Giselle Gibson, was heading to his idea of the American Dream. However, the dream becomes a nightmare on the eve of his 29th birthday. Never lacking vision, drive, or confidence, John finds himself in uncharted territory as he loses the very foundation for his drive and purpose. Haunted by a decision that costs him the lives of his loved ones, John’s life and self-worth shatter before his eyes. No longer in control of his destination, John ultimately allows a near, but distant stranger navigate his footsteps. The road to recovery for this once millionaire-in-the making means cutting loose ends, redefining relationships, and becoming vulnerable. Sometimes to lose is to gain becomes a recurring theme in the next chapter of John’s life.

John was definitely the perspective a "man"! The viewpoint of story-line of what took place in relationship with Giselle and the conversations with guys were spot on! I love the vivid dialogue with guys and maturity that takes place among all the guys. John is man who seems to have it all together but something is still missing........you will have to read to find out what that something is!!
