Yes! I didn't think it was possible, but "Broken" for me was even better than "Save"...It's the story of Eric and Lena, who are companion characters in "Save". They both have troubled pasts that have made them dysfunctional when it came to relationships. It's written to coincide with the events of "Save"...With alternating POV's, you are able to fully envision the feelings and emotions felt by Eric and Lena...Handsome player, Eric, suffered abuse at the hands of his father til' one tragic event ended it and his so-called family. He survived only to have his future devastated yet again.Beautiful, carefree Lena grew up the child of a broken home and the daughter of the town prostitute. She was assaulted verbally and treated like trash by her classmates, even by the one boy who professed his love only in secret.The two come together as friends with baggage only to realize that they can't live without the other.A great story of perseverance, friendship, and finding out that family is what you make of it.Ella Col is an author who writes with feeling and realism - taking brokenness and creating beauty.
