Sinopse

InáLyrics of a Broken Heart,áJames Mueller writes:áThe loss of Luke was dissociating and unhinging. I was groping in the darkness, in sadness, with no sense of how to move forward in a life without my son. The writing was the key to my sanity.

Through lyric prose, he plumbs the depth of his journey from devastating loss to emotional recovery.
