The Gold in the Grain

About this book

In the coastal town of Oakhaven, fifty-four-year-old Elias Thorne—a disgraced former structural engineer—now spends his days in a dusty workshop teaching troubled teens how to repair shattered heirlooms. When seventeen-year-old Jace brings in a box of porcelain shards and a heavy, unspoken guilt, Elias recognizes a familiar fracture. Over six weeks, their journey of restoration reveals that the hardest things to fix aren't made of glass or wood, but the choices made when we think no one is watching. As Elias guides Jace through the meticulous process of repair, the narrative interweaves Elias's own past failures and the scandal that collapsed his career, proving that broken pieces can sometimes create something stronger than the original.
