Shattered Reflections

By: M.J. Emerson

Narrated by: Hailey Kinnaman

A dream that wouldn’t let go. A story of heartbreak, healing, and second chances.

Amanda Halewood thought she had it all—a loving husband, a beautiful son, and a lifetime of memories waiting to be made. But in one tragic moment, everything changed.

Now a widow and single mother, Amanda must navigate a new life she never wanted. As she settles in a quiet coastal town hoping for peace, the shadows of her grief never fully leave. Yet through unexpected friendships, the joy of small moments, and the love she feels for her son, Amanda begins to rediscover hope.

Inspired by a vivid dream that lingered long after waking, Shattered Reflections is a deeply personal and emotionally resonant debut. It’s a story about the love that endures beyond loss, the quiet strength found in motherhood, and the courage it takes to start again.

Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Colleen Hoover, or Kristin Hannah, this novel will stay with you long after the final page.

Sometimes, the most broken reflections hold the clearest truths.
