Good breaks, bad breaks, lucky breaks, heartbreaks, bone breaks?at age forty-nine, Pete Brandon has certainly had his share of each. But the one he gets on a cold December morning as he prepares for his thirteen-year-old daughter?s holiday visit is not only unbelievable, but virtually unimaginable as well. And it will trigger a series of tumultuous events that will dramatically change his life. What follows is an account of the next three years of Pete?s life (along with a flashback to that time of his youth wherein he makes, through acts of his own choosing, an accelerated transition from boy to man), during which he lives through several extraordinary situations?some bringing extreme joy; others crushing heartbreak?all resulting from this amazing break.? All of these breaks? serve to ultimately help him undergo a spiritual awakening, which molds him into the man he will continue to be for the remainder of his life.
