The Broken Seam: A Memoir of Survival, Faith, and Rebuilding - Paperback

by James Wade (Author)

Some things break clean. Others break along a seam - and that's where the mending starts.

The Broken Seam is the story of a man rebuilding a life from the ground up: marriage, faith, fatherhood, and a sense of self that had to be re-engineered from broken parts. Told with the precision of a blueprint and the honesty of a confession, this memoir traces what it means to survive - not just the crisis itself, but the long, unglamorous work of recovery that comes after.

Drawing on Christian faith and hard-won clarity, James Wade writes about the moments most people hide: the failures, the reckonings, the slow rebuilding of trust with a wife who stayed, and the responsibility of raising five children while still learning how to stand on his own. This isn't a story about being fixed. It's about learning to live inside the repair.

The Broken Seam is Book 1 in a seven-part memoir series that reads like a life laid open - structural, unflinching, and ultimately hopeful.
