Broken People Phillip J Powers

Roxanne, California is a desolate place where people go to forget and be forgotten. MJ Mueller has come to the remote town to deal with his alcoholism, divorce and failed career. Allison MacDonald has been confined to a wheelchair since being in a terrible auto accident twelve years ago and Roxanne is a place where she can be alone; not deserving friendship or love. Can finding each other help them heal the scars of their troubled pasts? Does hope really spring eternal or is it just another phrase that people use to make themselves feel better? Can MJ help Allison uncover the mystery of her paralysis and help her to lead a normal life and in the process reclaim his career as an investigative reporter? Will the truth bring the couple joy or put them in the cross hairs of a rich Senator's revenge? "Broken People" is a psychological thriller that portrays the joys and sorrows of an intimate relationship, solves a mystery and proclaims that even though we are all broken, we can heal one another through love and understanding.
