Northern Exposure by Debra Lee Brown released on Dec 25, 2002 is available now for purchase.

When Glass Shatters is an intimate look at thirty years of my life. It reflects back to my childhood through the eyes of a child in her adult body. It deeply explores the human feelings of helplessness, despair, joy, and triumph. It deals with abuse and how it affects the family as a whole. And those moments when you feel, no, you know, life just couldn''t get any worse, but does. A family torn apart and what it took to pull us back together. The death of friends caused by a drunk driver, and cancer. Those moments I turned away from God, instead of turning to him. The coming of age and leaving home for the first time, the loss of innocence, virginity, and the long road to adulthood. The parallel and the struggle I shared with my son while we both grew up and were able to pick up the shattered pieces of our lives.
