Publisher's Synopsis
Sylvia Flores' life is unraveling. Haunted by a past she can't escape and a present plagued by mental illness, Sylvia struggles to hold her fractured family together. Her erratic behavior and descent into schizophrenia drive her children into the hands of the welfare system, leaving her trapped in a heartbreaking battle to reclaim her life.
As social worker Paula Chrisman is drawn deeper into Sylvia's case, she uncovers dark secrets from Sylvia's past-family tragedies, neglect, and the echoes of abuse-that cast a long shadow over the present. Caught between compassion and the harsh reality of the system, Paula is forced to navigate impossible moral dilemmas, while Sylvia's family fractures under the weight of their shared trauma. Set in the 1970s, CAXRIS(R) Fragmented Echoes is a gripping, emotional exploration of the failures of the mental health and welfare systems, the fragility of family bonds, and the long-lasting scars of unresolved pain. Raw, heart-wrenching, and deeply human, this novel invites readers to question the impact of trauma, the limitations of love, and the echoes of the past that never truly fade.
