Broken Blue : Our family's long walk to justice

Broken Blue: Our Family's Long Walk to Justice is a narrative nonfiction memoir about the hidden toll of a justice system where delay becomes punishment. Told from the perspective of a wife and mother, it follows a nine‑year ordeal that began with her husband's arrest and spiralled into endless postponements, financial ruin, and emotional exhaustion. As hearings are repeatedly delayed and no clear evidence is presented, the family loses income, home, savings, and stability, while children grow up carrying fear and shame they did not earn. Ultimately, survival forces a plea deal—not as an admission of guilt, but as a way out. Broken Blue reveals what case files miss: the families damaged by waiting, and the lasting cost of justice denied by delay.
