A short story collection from Godshot author Chelsea Bieker, Heartbroke is a messy, gritty, exploration of life, family dynamics, and hardscrabble women surviving if not thriving.
There are a lot of characters doing terrible things, but Bieker manages to write them in a nuanced way, offering grace and sometimes a measure of redemption. I love Bieker’s writing style and the themes explored in Heartbroke. I really enjoyed this collection.
