We're all a little bit broken, aren't we? Young widow Tracie Shaw may be more than most. She spends her days hidden away making beautiful treasures out of other people's trash. When she finds someone's abandoned ashes in a storage bin auction, her life begins to change. When she meets a woman who might have a clue as to where the ashes came from and what they mean, her life turns upside down.

In this tale of friendship and loss, magical realism takes a backseat to the everyday magic in Lori B. Duff’s novella, Broken Things.

The author of four other books, Lori is the two-time winner of the Georgia Bar Journal's annual fiction competition and has won the Foreword Indies Gold Medal for humor. She serves as the 2022-2024 president of the National Society for Newspaper Columnists and is a past president of the Georgia Council for Municipal Court Judges. She's married and has two adult children who will always be her babies. In her spare time, she practices law in Loganville, Georgia.
