A Heap of Broken Images

This is a fictionalized account of the real life of an acquaintance of mine who was separated from his parents when an adolescent. His grandmother raised him but would not explain these separations. Throughout the years, his unexplained past plagued his mind. Years later, he met his mother and learned the shocking truths that had been withheld. I found this story extremely compelling and wanted to set it down in writing for others to share. The names of the characters and some of the detailed events are fictional.
