Unresolved Issues, When Life Changes, is a riveting novel by Patrick L. Brooks that examines how life's decisions and choices are not arbitrary but are the result of deep-seated emotional pain and trauma that often go unaddressed and untreated. We all have varying degrees of dysfunction. However, it's how we choose to cope with our shortcomings that can dog our steps and contaminate our choices. In this gripping novel, the author examines how many of our decisions are the reasons for our problems despite the fact that we exert more energy to place the blame elsewhere. How we choose to confront life's daily stressors and challenges particularly in our personal and intimate relationships can set us adrift on a turbulent sea of raw emotions. Though it is easier to accentuate our positives and strengths, doing so at the expense of ignoring our inadequacies can cause us to make catastrophic choices that leave in their wake a host of Unresolved Issues. In this edition, the Hithers deep rooted family issues resurface, and Daniel's lack of trust for his wife Jorie leads to their marital conflict that leads to full blown chaos. The two will learn that the trials of their marriage can either build a stable foundation if addressed head on or dissolve the union that ultimately lacked true substance.
