The Broken Link

A novel by Richard Kauffman

A story about family, consequence, and the choices that can shape what gets carried forward — and what finally ends.

Some links define us. Others have to be broken.

Derek Lawson grows up determined not to repeat the failures that shaped him. But breaking a family pattern is not one dramatic decision. It is built through years of ordinary choices — in marriage, fatherhood, work, service, and the moments when showing up matters most.

As Derek builds the life he once needed for himself, he discovers that damage can travel forward through a family — but so can repair.
