A sweeping historical novel of forbidden love, unbreakable courage, and the true cost of freedom in a nation divided against itself.

Set in the final years of American slavery, The View Through Shattered Glass follows James, an escaped slave, and Diane, a disabled white woman; the world never accepted either. Their bond defies every law and hatred of their time. Their son, Easton, inherits both the promise and the peril of their love, fighting for a place in a world still unwilling to see him as fully human.
