About The Book
The Mending Of Broken Hearts: A Story Built on Memory, Duty, and the Cost of Carrying a Family
The Mending Of Broken Hearts is a self improvement psychology book that centers on the life of Tad Jaehrling as he faces a season he never imagined, watching his mother, Kitty, slip away piece by piece, while the history he tried to leave behind rises back to the surface. The narrative does not pursue the spectacular events of life. It rather underlines the minor truths of life: the way childhood memories keep stirring in adult life, the act of drinking can hide more than it unveils, and caregiving to a parent can compel a person to finally tackle the issues they have been avoiding for years.
C.A. Williams creates this mindfulness book meditation without ornamentation or moralization, enabling the audience to observe closely the process of one man’s learning to gingerly go through fear, guilt, and responsibility, empowered with a bit more courage than before.
The concept behind this storytelling book is clear-cut: to allow the readers to view their own families with clearer vision, regardless of whether they are caused by chaos, separation, or a combination of both. Williams is well aware that many people bear the scars of their childhood from homes that were seemingly alright but were actually very difficult to live in. He is optimistic that this tale could serve as a solace, not through providing solutions, but rather by revealing the quiet strength that develops when a person stops fleeing from his/her past. For the ones who have undergone the tumultuous journey of confusion, strained relationships, or the gradual fading of a loved one’s mind, this book about yourself offers a friendship, soft, sincere, and life-based.
