About The Book
Broken Vows
Looking back now, the story in Broken Vows begins with a moment that seemed small.
Lance noticed Michele while working in Seattle. She stood out immediately. Partly because of her bright pink hair, but mostly because she carried herself with a kind of confidence that made people pay attention.
They talked for a few minutes. Then again a few days later.
Before long, they were spending time together outside of work. Weekend trips, long conversations, and the feeling that something important was beginning.
After several years of dating, Lance proposed during a trip to Maui. At the time it felt like the start of a long future together.
Marriage brought a different rhythm to life. Children were born. Careers had to be balanced with raising a family. The couple bought a home and settled into routines that slowly stretched into decades.
For many years, they believed they were handling the normal challenges of marriage well enough. But life has a way of shifting quietly.
Financial pressure, personal frustrations, and disagreements about important decisions slowly created tension between them. The changes were gradual. At first they were easy to ignore. Then one decision changed everything.
Why Read It?
Broken Vows
Some books about relationships try to give advice. This one simply tells a story.
Broken Vows is the author looking back at a marriage that lasted many years before eventually coming apart. The book moves through the early excitement of the relationship, the years spent raising a family, and the difficult moments when things began to change.
The story doesn’t try to simplify what happened. Instead it shows how complicated long relationships can become over time.
Small disagreements grow into larger ones. Stress from work and finances adds pressure. Decisions that once seemed manageable suddenly carry heavier consequences.
After the separation, the author reflects on what life looked like afterward. The loneliness, the questions, and the process of trying to rebuild a sense of direction.
Faith becomes an important part of that journey.
