Broken Branches, by Virginia Acquaro Slechta

Born into heartbreak, raised in uncertainty—will he ever find where he truly belongs?

Buddy’s life was never his own—not from the moment his grandmother tried to abort him before birth, nor when he was torn from the foster parents who truly loved him. Given a second chance with a wealthy adoptive family, he was promised everything. Instead, he found only loneliness, rejection, and an unthinkable question: Why am I not enough?

Desperate for answers, Buddy spent years chasing ghosts of the past—until he finally built a life, a family, and a love to call his own. Then, a devastating betrayal threatens to unravel it all.

Will he find the strength to fight for the life he’s always longed for, or will the fear of rejection hold him back?
