About this ebook
After years of sidestepping, enigmatic Dr. Matt Wetherington finally falls in love, helplessly and against the warnings in his head. Helena is beautiful and wonderful, someone he had been waiting for and did not know it. Except Matt hides a tumultuous past, filled with pain, betrayal and shame, something he cannot bear to tell her.
As Matt struggles with his growing feelings and the upsurges from his past, he faces a crossroads: to face his secret past and finally heal, or keep running away and lose the one he loves.
Told in a unique, compelling narrative, Andrea Howarth-Salazar demonstrates the insistent influence of the past and the all-encompassing power of love in this heartwarming story.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5'Splintered' is a novel about ordinary people and an exploration of family relationships and how the past can affect the future. The main character is Matt, a twenty-something doctor. His soul is tortured by his memories. We follow Matt and his friends and family, as he tries to make sense of the past and somehow break through the barrier from despair to happiness. Piece by piece, his past is revealed in the novel through flashbacks. When we first meet Matt, the dark secrets from his past are threatening to destroy his blossoming relationship with girlfriend Helena. Can he face his demons and leave the past behind in order to move on?'Splintered' is the type of book that would appeal to everyone; it deals with betrayal, misunderstandings, adultery, secrets, lies and relationships. There are wonderful insights into the human psyche.Andrea Howarth-Salazar has a very individual style of writing. The narrative is written more like a film script than a novel. The prose flows nicely.There are a couple of inconsistencies in the plot and a few typos, but apart from these, very minor distractions, I enjoyed this book.This is an ambitious first novel, with a very complex storyline. Andrea Howarth-Salazar is definitely a writer to watch for the future. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.
