What happens when the pressure no one sees becomes more than someone can bear?
We all have breaking points. Some arrive gradually, while others come in a moment that changes everything.
My debut novel, Tipping Point, tells the story of Marcus Sheridan, a quiet teenager struggling beneath the weight of expecations and his own fear of failure.
When Marcus makes a devastating decision, the consequences reach far beyond anything he could have imagined. A teacher, two families, and an entire community are left facing questions that don’t have easy answers.
How could this happen? Could anyone have recognized the warning signs? And when the damage is done, is there still room for forgiveness?
Tipping Point is not a story about excusing terrible choices. It’s about understanding the people behind them, accepting responsibility, and discovering what justice, mercy and faith can mean when life has gone terribly wrong.
As a Christian, I believe that accountability and grace are not opposites. Sometimes the hardest stories are the ones that ask us to consider both.
I’ve wanted to write novels for much of my life. Now, in retirement, I’m finally bringing that dream to life. I’m excited, a little nervous, and looking forward to sharing this story with you.
