These new and larger view homes are certain to attract more affluent families. But Pastor Ken is not the only one to take note of this influx of new money. Along with moving vans bringing new residents to Valley View, new upscale shops and smart restaurants spring up as well.

Irretrievably Broken is the haunting, funny, and heart-breaking account of German ex-patriots Nora, Ruth, and Bettina Adler. The plot takes us across the U.S, to the bush country of Canada, and to a cold case murder scene in Germany as this multi-cultural family deals with diversity and racism. The novel is populated with unforgettable characters in a candid exploration of race.
Nora is obsessed with her Native-American husband she’s about to divorce and consumed with guilt over a friend she may have caused harm; Ruth, whose blunt statements are often inappropriate, witnessed a brutal murder and saved a life during the Holocaust; and 12-year-old Bettina, the mixed race child of an African-American and a white German, is devastated by the death of her mother and neglect of her father. Irretrievably Broken is a novel of family and friendship, of love and loss, of guilt and forgiveness.
