Editorial Reviews

""Joe Leach shows great insight into the traumas and ongoing life experiences of our veterans in this fascinating tale. He does so in a confronting but compassionate way, linking real life challenges with a fantasy genre that gives insight and understanding to how we can live happier and more wholesome lives."" --Deacon Gary Stone, former Army Chaplain and President of the Veterans' Care Association ""The Broken is a gentle fantasy, enlivened by faith, wisdom and compassion. It is a story of pain in which love and forgiveness are the real heroes. Joseph Leach writes beautifully about the gift of healing. His book is a balm."" --Michael McGirr, former publisher of Eureka Street and author of Books That saved My Life ""A wonderfully clever book with a brilliant ending and inspiring characters."" --Kerry Greenwood, author of the Phryne Fisher Detective Series
